How to disable clipboard alert?

[Dr....@officeformac.com]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel How can I disable the Clipboard alert:

"There is a large amount of information on the Clipboard."

It is annoying, every time I have to hit "NO" to close a workbook.

I also would like to disable the alert in a Applescript macro. Is there a command for that? Or, ist there a way to clear the clipboard?

Thank you.

I don't know that you can 'disable' it although a script might be able to
acknowledge it. I'm not that familiar with Apple Script so I can't comment
on that.

The Clipboard is an OS facility. I believe the fact that the message appears
in a dialog box bearing any particular application icon is simply to give
you an indication of what kind of info the Clipboard contains... basically a
reminder of where the data came from. You might try pressing the ESCape key
beforehand to clear the Clipboard. I believe that works like it does in the
Windows version.

Hi CyberTaz,
Thanks for your help. Hitting "esc" does clear the clipboard. So in the applescript I just added the following lines before closing the workbook:

tell application "System Events"
                key code 53
        end tell
