Paste command not pasting most recent clipboard item

Hi, I'm working in Windows 10 and have a persistent problem with Copy + Paste. The problem is that the Paste command typically does not paste the most recent item from the clipboard, but rather pastes an item previously copied to the clipboard. So, for example,
I might go grab something from the web via CTRL + C, and then try to copy it into an email, only to find that the pasted material is something I previously copied, not the material I copied most recently. At that point I have to go back, re-copy the stuff
from the web, and try the paste command again. This works, but performing this sequence of steps twice most of the time is a pain in the...keyboard.

I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

 

copy and paste

Windows standard works in most places:

Select first item in a list (one click)

For contiguous list selection:

Hold the Shift key down, click on the last item in a list

For non-contiguous list selection:

Hold the Ctrl key down, click on each item you want to save

With selected items shown, simply hold the Ctrl key down and press the c key

These steps will save what you have selected to the Windows clipboard

You can then paste what is on the clipboard (not-selectively) in most places by simply placing the cursor where you want the copy to be, then hold down the Ctrl key and press v

 

Why don't all of the items pasted from Clipboard arrive at Word?

Greetings: Re: Win 10 Pro Office 2010 Excel Clipboard

I have a list of items created on Excel from which I extract certain items to the Clipboard to be pasted to, I'm assuming, "Word". The process I follow is to pick the first item I want to copy by clicking on the number of the item which high lights the whole line item in blue, then according to the instructions, I push ctrl+c which results in the item appearing on the Clipboard. Subsequently I follow the same procedure with each item I want except instead of clicking ctrl+c, I just hit "copy". Soon, my list is complete in the Clipboard & the next thing I do is hit "Paste All" and that results in all of the items that I selected being grouped together and high lighted in blue. Then I see an option of two destinations (without names and I have tried both). After selecting the destination, I simply X out of the program.

After Xing out of the program, I access Office 2010 again, go to "Word" and when that comes up, the only thing appearing on the Clipboard is the last item I selected rather than all of the items. I don't anticipate the list on Clipboard being anymore than 10 items, so the limit of 24 is never approached.

Thank You. Robert
