   |   
   | I was wondering ...   
      
   (snip long list of Excel clipboard formats)   
      
   Yikes. As the saying goes, "too much information."   
      
   I have sometimes seen a message box when shutting down MS apps (Excel   
   and Access in particular) about "there is a large amount of information   
   on the clipboard, do you want to keep it...". Now I see why.   
      
   Does Excel actually put all that info on the clipboard when you click   
   copy, or does it just say its available, and actually only transfer the   
   data in the format requested? I suppose the answer is "some of each",   
   but I wonder how much it does up front versus on demand.
