How can I determine the size of the Windows or Office Clipboard

[TomM]

Wihtout resrortiong to scripting, is there any way we can determine via the
OS, the size of the Windows or Office Clipboard

I know how to see what's in the Clipboard by brinigning it up iin the Office
apps, and you can delete individaul, or all items. I woukd like to know the
size in RAM of the clipboard, so that I can make a decisioon on whether it is
likely to beaffecting performance and requires cleared

The Windows clipboard only holds one item at a time (open clipbrd.exe) The
Office clipboard holds more than one.

Thanks Mark, but I don't really need to see what's there. I woud like to know
how mauch RAM it's taking up. Is there a process I can identify, that I can
then look in TaskMgr, or some other method i canuse to find this out

About the only ways I know to do it would be to open clipmgr and save the
clip as a file, to then check the size in file properties or to create a
Windows Script Host app that could count the bytes in a clipboard object.

Thanks Mark,

I didn't really want to resort to scripting, which is why I wonderd if there
might be another way of doing it
