Can the Office Clipboard be cleared using VBA in PowerPoint?

Pretty much says it all. I think we've installed some add-ins that
are putting unexpected things in the clipboard. *Our* add-in would
like to clear the clipboard, but I can't figure out how. I can do it
manually, but when I attempt to create a macro from the steps to do
that, it ends up empty. WTH?

As an allied question, does the order in which add-ins are listed in
Tools->Add-ins define the order in which they're loaded? If so, then
it wouldn't do much good to code the vba if our add-in was loaded
before the one leaving its tracks in the clipboard, would it?
