If you copy something to the
clipboard twice in any part of Microsoft Office 2000 or XP, a tiny
"Clipboard" toolbar will appear. This toolbar, which covers your
work and requires that you stop what you're doing to close it or
get it out of the way, is not only annoying, but impossible to turn
off. Unfortunately, Microsoft has neglected to provide a "don't
show this again" option.
The purpose of the Clipboard toolbar is to allow you to store up
to a dozen items in the clipboard, but if you didn't specifically
intend to use this feature, the little toolbar just gets in the
way. Here's how to turn it off for good.
- Open an Office application, and select Options from the Tools
menu.
- Choose the Edit tab and turn off the Show Paste Options
buttons and Show Insert Options buttons options.
- Click Ok when you're done.
