Copy & Paste Data to/from the Clipboard in Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to use the clipboard to copy and paste data in Microsoft Access.

Mei Ling from Palo Alto, California (a Platinum Member) asks: I spend a lot of time copying and pasting customer name and address information from my Access database to either a spreadsheet, an email, a Word document, or my label writer. Is there any way you can set it up so that with one click, I can copy their entire name and address?
