Disable Office Clipboard

Sometimes the Office Clipboard breaks stuff and gives you an error like "can not copy to clipboard", this occurs because the clipboard is limited to a dozen or so entries.

Accpac Macros have bombed on me because of this "feature"... so, to disable the clipboard, use this registry change:

Go here (uh oh, something is filtering out the forward slashes...):
HKey_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice9.0CommonGeneral

Create DWORD key:
AcbControl

Set AcbControl to "1" to disable, "0" to enable.

Also, check other versions of Office. 10.0 is XP, 11.0 is 2003. And also check HK_LM, sometimes the settings in there take precendence, apparently.
