They have to use the same keyboard shortcut for "Paste from Scrapbook" in
all four Office apps (or that would _really_ be a usability snafu). No
matter which combo they chose at least one of the apps would have to give
one up from another command. For example, Word already uses cmd-ctrl-V for
"Insert Table Row". Furthermore, the Scrapbook is a replacement for
something very close that already existed as Office Clipboard in most of the
other apps. I think cmd-shift-V already was "Paste from Office Clipboard"
(or maybe from Spike) in Word, Excel, PPT. That's 3 to 1. I'm not positive,
and don't have Office X open to check, but I think it was something along
those lines.

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using -
**2004**, X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions
otherwise.
