Publisher paste problem

Right click in Publisher and point to clipboard.  The object shown is the last item pasted.  The clipboard is empty.  Same process in MS Word and the image that would paste in Publisher is  not show.  Clipboard is empty.

Is there a secondary clipboard for Publisher?  How does one access that extra clipboard or clear it?

    I am not sure I understand your question but go to Home tab > click the down arrow beside Clipboard to display it.  Click the Options button at the bottom of the Clipboard pane to see your clipboard options.

    Now if you successfully copy anything it will show up in that clipboard. I say if because copy and paste has always been a bit glitchy and sometimes when you right click > copy an object or text, etc. it simply doesn't work. This seems especially a problem when copying from a browser page. The same for the keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl+C. At least with the clipboard visible you can see what has been copied. You can have up to 24 items in the clipboard and choose to paste any you want.
