When I want to see what is on the clipboard or select and paste one of the
items I know to be on it, I simply click "Ctrl + c + c", when finished, is
there a keyboard shortcut to minimise it rather than have to use the mouse
please, or can one be set up? [using XP 2003 professional with SP 2] Thanks
in advance. RB

Ctrl+F1 toggles the opening and closing of any task pane, including
the clipboard.

Many thanks Jay. As usual the answer can be so simple, just one or two
clicks. However! the same shortcut does not close the €œSymbol€� pane, -that is
if it is regarded as a pane- that I have discovered just by chance is
achieved by hitting the €œEnter€� key twice. Still on the subject of the
€œClipboard€�, is there a similar shortcut to €œClear All€� the contents from it?
I am on a mission to make my mouse as redundant as possible so much so that I
have already assigned about 40 such shortcuts which now only require me to
memorise them, till then I have a printed list in front to of me. Thanks
again to all the helpers at MVP, a Merry Christmas to you & all those who
read this much appreciated forum. Regards Rupert.

If the Symbol dialog you mean is the one reached from Insert ribbon
Symbol More Symbols, then it's a dialog and not a pane; the Esc key
will dismiss it either before or after inserting a symbol.

I haven't found any keyboard shortcuts that do anything with the
clipboard pane.

Thank you Jay, yes the Symbol "chart" as I would tend to call it is the one I meant that pops up when -in a Word" doc. - I click on Insert Symbol As for clearing the clip board witrh a keyboard shortcut, maybe it is not possible, will keep on looking. Thanks for your reply. R B
