amount of memory preserved by Office Clipboard
how much system memory Word preserves for Office Clipboard?
I'm asking because I have the following problem: When I try to add some items to Office Clipboard, after the 4th-5th item I get the message "Item not colected. Delete items to increase available space". However, when I copy an item outside the Word (eg Photoshop) the item is added in Office Clipboard without that message. (RAM 2GB OS win7.7100 RC 32-bit Office 2007 Pro) -- geotso ---- ---- --- -- -- - - Please, remove hyphens to contact me ---- ---- --- -- -- - - |

Could you please explain how they are different as I can be copying and pasting material within Word, but then I can also paste that material in an outside application like a text editor, or even another word processor?

Only one of the items in the Office Clipboard is the one on the Windows
Clipboard. You can use Copy and Paste in any Windows application, but only for the content of the Windows Clipboard. If you copy from another application, what you copied will presumably appear as the first (or most recent) item on the Office Clipboard (since I've never used the Office Clipboard, I'm having to be a bit vague here). -- Suzanne S.

The Office clipboard is not the same as the Windows clipboard. I may be mistaken in this, but I don't think any program outside the Office suite has access to the Office clipboard, only the Windows clipboard. I know. Windows get the image copied in Photoshop and put it in their Clipboard. At that moment, Word, that is still open, sees the new item and adds it in its Clipboard. So saying that PhotoShop can add things to the (Windows) clipboard doesn't prove anything. Theoretically speaking it certainly proves one thing: The same image, is smaller in bytes when I copy it in Photoshop, than in Word. That's why, when I copy the image in Photoshop, it "fits" in Office Clipboard, while the Word copy doesn't. I haven't found any reliable statement about the Office clipboard's capacity, only an unsubstantiated claim that it's 1/16 of the installed RAM. So, Office clipboard does have a limit. If there is a Word developer among us (in the discussion group), he could probably clarify how much the real limit is. It may be worth going to Office button Word Options Resources and clicking the Diagnose button, or going to Control Panel Programs & Features Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Change and doing a Repair. May be I wasn't clear enough at first place. I'm not looking for a repair. I found out that Office clipboard has a limit, and that's okay. I'm just wondering how much that limit is. (I could live with that 1/16, but it could be better if I knew the real amount. It has to do with the way I want to learn things) Thanks Jay... |

See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...548991033.aspx (expand the
second item). Assuming you have more than 64M of RAM, the office clipboard can hold up to 8M. Items copied to the Windows clipboard, and thence to the Office clipboard, are potentially in several different formats but, if the copying application remains open, those 'formats', especially for large items, may simply be pointers to that application to pass the data when requested for pasting. It is quite possible that content from a Word document (perhaps in HTML format) takes considerably more space than a pointer to a bitmap in Photoshop. Determining what will, or will not, fit on the (office) clipboard, is not an easy matter. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "geotso" wrote in message ...
