A. In Microsoft Office 2000, when you copy multiple text blocks, the application brings up a dialog box with all the clipboard data it knows about. This behavior can be very annoying. To disable this dialog box, perform the following steps:
Start regedit.exe.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice9.0CommonGeneral.
From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value.
Enter a name of AcbControl, and press Enter.
Double-click the new value, and set it to 1 (0 will turn the dialog box back on).
Close regedit.
Restart your Office applications.
You can still access the copy clipboard manually via the Clipboard toolbar (View, Toolbars, Clipboard).
