Q: Where is the clipboard for word 2016?

Where is the clipboard for word 2016 (It isn't under 'file' anymore ...no 'show clipboard') and does it keep a history, or do I have to keep going back and copying the same thing again and again when I need it 20 times in a document?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    I'm not at my Mac to check, but it never has been in the File menu. Try the Edit menu.

    And, you can paste the same thing all day long, until you replace it with something else.

    Thanks for this.....it's not coming up in the Edit menu either! So I can't keep a history of 20 different things on the clipboard ala Windows word? Oh dear...

    Not unless Microsoft has implemented some other pasteboard within Office.

    The Edit menu is the normal location for a Show Clipboard command, but Microsoft tends to roll its own windows, menus, and other UI, etc. I didn't find anything related in the Customize Keyboard dialog, so it likely doesn't exist.

    Where do I find Clipboard in Word 2016 (Mac version). It was so very useful, in its absence one has to copy the same things repeatedly even if it is to be used several times in different order.

    Oh come on!!! We have to go forward not Backward please...

    Research & development should be aimed towards "un-complicating" things and not to COMPLICATE.

    You should probably be asking Microsoft since it's their product...

    In addition to what Barney said: why would you even want to look for it? Command-C is the universal shortcut for "Copy", universal in the sense that it works in ANY application that can copy. Command-V is the shortcut for "Paste". Both have existed since 1984 at least (maybe earlier in the Lisa computer, but they exist since the very first Mac).
