First, let’s answer an important question…

What Is the Difference between Basic Copying and Pasting and Using the Clipboard?

Your PC has two clipboards: the Windows Clipboard and the Office Clipboard.

The basic copy and paste methods use the Windows Clipboard, which lets you copy one piece of content at a time—as soon as you copy a new piece of content, the old piece is deleted.

In contrast, the Office Clipboard in Microsoft Word is divided into slots where you can copy up to twenty-four different pieces of content and then paste them individually or all at once.

It’s important to note that the content in the top slot in the Office Clipboard is the same as the content in the Windows Clipboard.
