The standard Windows clipboard holds only one item at a time. You can install clipboard extenders… but, in Office, you can use the Office Clipboard, which holds up to 24 items at a time. Go to the Home tab, find the Clipboard panel at the far left and click on the dialog launcher (the diagonal arrow at the lower right of the panel). The Office Clipboard pane opens and anything you copy to the clipboard gets saved in the pane. You can select any item, right-click on it, and select Paste or Delete.
Additionally, you can control when and how the Office clipboard appears by clicking on the Option button at the bottom of the Office clipboard.
