I guess my question is why does Word have to clear the Clipboard when it
exits? What's the harm in leaving whatever is in there in there? Howa bout
an option to just turn off the "warning.?"

Almost all the other heavy duty apps I use (FP, FrameMaker, PageMaker,
Dreamweaver, etc etc), they just ignore the Clipboard. Why does Word care?

Thanks for listening.

You can post your suggestion as a "Suggestion to Microsoft" through the
Web
interface. If it gets enough votes, someone at MS will look at it. But
honestly, I think most people are not sorry to be reminded that the
Clipboard may be cleared when they quit Word (if they've opened Word to
copy--or, worse still, cut--something and plan to paste it after quitting
Word).

Thanks Suzanne.

Where would I submit a simple suggestion to MS to improve their
products,
for example this issue? (Somewhere that it will actually get read, not
just
an autoresponder mailbox.)

I don't know of any way except one that requires more
keystrokes/clicks:
select a single character and Copy to the Clipboard before shutting
down.

Hi All,

How do I get Word (2000 and 2003) to stop prompting me about the
fact
that
I
have left a "large" amount of text in the Clipboard? This is a
colossal
waste of a click every time I exit. :-)

Thanks,

Phideaux
