I've regarded the multiple clipboard as an annoyance as opposed to a
benefit. It pops up when pasting something even though I'm only
pasting a single item. Readily admit that I don't know how to use
it, and it's not enough of an issue to spend 30 mins. reading all
about it in Word's help files.

It would be a good thing if you were to write a succinct "How-to"
and "Why you'd want to use this feature" for the terrific Word
MVPs web site. You could enlighten many of us. Thanks.
