Using word as editor for Outlook -- have cut 3 paragraphs of text from msg 1
to paste in msg 2; in prep'ing msg 2 beginning content before paste, also selected some text to put in "subject" of msg 2 and inadvertently "copied" text before paste in orig text cut from msg 1 --- 3 paragraphs were lost from earlier cut#1. Is there a hidden "cache" for the clipboard - when I opened the clipboard it only had my last info pasted to "subject field"? Is there an audit trail/list for clipboard one can turn on? Can you tell word to keep a "push down stack" that you can recover from previously "cut" items or "clipboard items"? or are there other controlling attributes for behaviour of clipboard? Is there another technical solution, other than not being forgetful. Insight appreciated. Thanks |

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you lost your previously cut text from the clipboard. Let me see if I can help you recover it.
Unfortunately, once you cut something from the clipboard, it is removed from the clipboard memory and cannot be recovered through any hidden cache or audit trail. However, there are a few things you can try to recover your lost text:
In terms of preventing this from happening in the future, one thing you can do is use the "Copy" function instead of "Cut" when you're preparing a new message. This way, you won't accidentally overwrite anything that's already on the clipboard. Additionally, you can try using a third-party clipboard manager that allows you to save multiple items to the clipboard and retrieve them later.

Hi Gord-
You don't mention version, but if 2003 you might want to take a look at EditOffice Clipboard. This feature allows you to 'collect' cut & copied items and paste/repaste as desired. It probably won't help for your current situation because it only collects if the Office Clipboard Task Pane is displayed _or_ the 'Collect without showing...' Option is enabled.

Click the arrow beside the Undo button on the Standard toolbar in Word to
display the Undo list. Then Undo all the items down to Cut. This will restore the text you cut, which you can then cut again; after pasting the text where it's needed, you can, if you like, Redo all the Undone items. -- Suzanne S.
