Re: Word 2003 Clipboard automatically displayed
William's suggestion (thanks!) is worth a try - these WordBasic commands are often more dependable than VBA, strangely enough...
Best wishes,
Hans

Thank you, William. The Clipboard did not display automatically when I opened additional documents. What AutoExec line should be added, please.
My thanks, Uncle

Re: Word 2003 Clipboard automatically displayed
Do you mean that with the WordBasic line in the AutoExec macro, the Clipboard task pane is displayed when you start Word, but hidden again when you open a document within Word?
Best wishes,

Hans - I do not know how to write the AutoExec macro to add to Williams' code.

Press Alt+F8 to display the Macros dialog.
Select AutoExec in the list of macros.
Click Edit.
Replace the line
CommandBars("Office Clipboard").Visible = True
with
WordBasic.EditOfficeClipboard
Press Ctrl+S to save.
Press Alt+F4 to quit the Visual Basic Editor.
Quit and restart Word.
Select AutoExec in the list of macros.
Click Edit.
Replace the line

Re: Word 2003 Clipboard automatically displayed
The new code works with the first document I open but not subsequent ones. The code is
Sub AutoExec()
WordBasic.EditOfficeClipboard
End Sub
I am missing something, but what???
Thank you!
Sub AutoExec()
WordBasic.EditOfficeClipboard
End Sub
I am missing something, but what???
Thank you!

Re: Word 2003 Clipboard automatically displayed
Go to edit AutoExec again, but this time add the following code BELOW the End Sub line:
AutoExec will run when you start Word, AutoNew will run each time you create a new document, and AutoOpen will run each time you open an existing document.
Code: Select all
Sub AutoNew()
WordBasic.EditOfficeClipboard
End Sub
Sub AutoOpen()
WordBasic.EditOfficeClipboard
End Sub
Best wishes,
Hans
