A. All Windows versions let you copy one item at a time to the clipboard. It stays there until you copy another selection or the computer is shut down. However, if you have MS Office 2000, you can have as many as 12 items on the clipboard at once. With MS Office XP, you can have up to 24 items at one time.

When more than one item is on the clipboard, there are options to Paste All, Delete All or paste an individual item. Moving the pointer over a copied item shows what is there and any item can be pasted in any order or as many times as you wish.

No, in MS Office, holding down the Shift key and clicking on File gives options to Close All and Save All that don't appear otherwise on the File menu. Shortcut icons to Close or Close All files can be placed on the Standard toolbar by clicking on Tools > Customize > Commands tab, then click and drag the icon for the selected command to the toolbar.
