Turn off “Do you want to keep the last item you copied?” in MS office suite

microsoft excelmicrosoft wordmicrosoft-office

This popup says it may take longer to exit if I keep the last item I copied. However, in every case, having to click on the popup makes it take longer to exit anyway, since I have to move the mouse to click on ANOTHER popup box, and realistically, I never copy enough to slow my computer down (and even if I did, an extra few seconds to exit isn't going to bother me). So, I would like to disable this 'feature' but can find no way of doing so. Does anyone have any solutions?

Unfortunately, you can't turn it off. This request - Option to disable "Do you want to keep the last item you copied?" dialog box - on Uservoice was created after the same question as yours was asked on Microsoft's forum. However, up to the writing of this answer, Microsoft has not given an option to disable it.

The only workaround from the Microsoft's forum is to copy a single character before closing the app.
