Similar problem as Tom Craig’s. Since I went to Office 2016 anything I copy once from Outlook or MSWord appears on clipboard multiple times. I need to turn the clipboard OFF. I use Spartan and this glitch keeps chewing up the clipboard and my time to clear it.

. It keeps clipping from Outlook email all the time, without my knowing. Then I am faced with the message, “you have a full clipboard, do you want to copy it” or something like that.
This is in outlook 2016. Can’t find anything how to fix this. Help
