I would also like to know how to get rid of that clipboard. I thought I had it turned off. Hadn't seen it in ages. And then it came up and got me this morning when I was working on a project. The only way I could get rid of it was close Word and open it again, but I know there's a way to clean it out without having to do that, or get rid of it, so it won't show up at all. I hope some Word guru has the answer for this one. mary
