Fix lag with Clipboard History Switcher and Office 2011

[JimmyHartington]

I have had problems with activating the Clipboard History Switcher.
And it seems to be because Microsoft Office 2011 creates images of the clipboard content, which is very large.
See this forum post:

Hmm. As a workaround, what about an Excel-only macro that automatically filters new clipboard entries to remove styles and then deletes Past Clipboard 1? Maybe something like this in an Excel-only macro group? Auto-Filter Excel Clipboard.kmmacros (2.9 KB) [image]

@gglick made a macro, which solved it in Excel. Thanks.

I have modified the macro to also cover Word and PowerPoint.
And made so the clipboard gets clean of images when the Office programs deactivate.
