Disable the Office clipboard
Found this here: http://techsupt.winbatch.com/ts/T000001071F4.html
At one client, the version was 11.0 rather than 9.0 (Office 2003 rather than 2000?) and the AcbControl word was alrady there (so I just had to change the value).

The office 2000 clipboard is limited to either 12 items or a total of 4 meg of memory. To store more than the 12 items, you can Click the Clear Clipboard button on the Clipboard toolbar. This removes all previously copied items from the Office Clipboard.
You can also close the Clipboard toolbar and office will then use the Windows clipboard. My suggestion is to disable the Office Clipboard entirely.
When you add the following registry entry, it prevents the Office Clipboard from automatically appearing when you perform multiple Copy commands in any of the Office programs. To add the AcbControl registry entry, follow these steps:
- Quit any programs that are running.
- Click Start, and then click Run. Type regedit and click OK.
- In the Registry Editor, click to select the following subkey (folder):
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\General
On the Edit menu, point to New and click DWORD Value. With New Value #1 selected, type AcbControl, and then press ENTER.
- On the Edit menu, click Modify. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Decimal under Base. Type 1 in the Value data box. Click OK and quit the Registry Editor.
NOTE: To turn on the Office Clipboard, repeat step 5 above, changing the value from 1 to 0.
