Windows Clipboard and Office Clipboard

The main difference is that the Windows Clipboard only holds one item at a time. When a new item is added, it replaces any existing one. Although the Windows Clipboard works when you copy, cut or paste, the Windows Clipboard Viewer isn’t readily accessible by default these  days. However, if you open the clpbrd.exe file in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder, you can see anything that has been recently copied or cut.

The Office Clipboard can hold up to 24 items .The first item is only deleted when the 25th is added. The Office Clipboard allows you to choose whether items are collected or not when the Clipboard Task pane isn’t displayed. (They’re always collected when the pane is displayed.)Under the Home tab, below Format  Painter, click the arrow to the right of ‘Clipboard’. At the bottom of the displayed Task pane is an Options button. Check or don’t check ‘Collect Without Showing Office Clipboard’.
