Why can't I make the clipboard stop showing up on my document?

[Guest]

I've used the clipboard options menu to turn off the clipboard, but I can't
seem to make that happen. When I copy and paste, it continues to show up on
my document - very annoying and in the way! What am I doing wrong?

That's the Paste Options button; disable it on the Edit tab of Tools |
Options.

Thank you Suzanne! I'm so happy to finally be rid of the Paste Options
button!

Suzanne,

I'm sorry, but there is no box to check or uncheck on the Edit tab of Tools
| Options in Word 2003 to disable the Clipboard. There's only a little
options box that appears at the bottom of the Clipboard after it appears,
which lets you disable the Clipboard from then on. I too don't want it to
show. I'm tired of having to shut it off in every session. I would like to
be able to change a setting so that the Clipboard never appears in the first
place. Can this be done? Thanks.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the Paste Options button (which has a
clipboard icon). If you have in fact disabled all of the items on the
Options menu in the Clipboard task pane (none of the items show check
marks), then I don't know why you're seeing it, but the usual culprit would
be a misbehaving add-in.
