text: can i increase clipboard size? from excel i select & copy a big spreadsheet, go to word, do paste-special as picture -- i get 2/3s of the spreadsheet. is it a clipboard problem that i'm encountering? i do re-size the picture to fit the word page. the problem is the original copy is not all i have selected. i don't think the problem is clipboard size.  once you have pasted the results as a picture you can right-click on the picture and choose "format picture" and choose the "size" table to change the scaling.  scaling it smaller should show you more stuff (but smaller size).  as an alternative you can increase the page size (file / page setup,  paper and margins tabs) to give you a bigger page to paste on.
