Prerequisites
Identify the separate pieces of text you want to copy to the clipboard.

Instructions
With the desired text identified, run the Copy Multi Clipboard macro.  The first time you run it, it will create a sheet called Copy_Multi_Clipboard.  This is where you’ll list the separate text strings you’d like to copy in column A. After filling those in, run the Copy Multi Clipboard macro again to copy each item to the clipboard. Use the Windows-v shortcut to display the clipboard and easily paste any of the items copied.

Note that items will be displayed in reverse order with the bottom item showing up at the top. You’ll likely want to list them in reverse order so they show up in your preferred order in the clipboard, especially if you’re following along with a script.
