How can I STOP clipboard from appending copied material?

I don't understand what you're asking.

When you "copy" something, that something is stored on the clipboard,
that's what "copy" means. You can then "paste" it - copy it from the
clipboard - into another app.

Could you try to give us a clearer idea of what you're trying to
accomplish?

after I paste it to say "word" it dosn't clear the clipboard. Next time I
copy something it adds it to the original "copy". Therefore the subsequent
copies just keep appending to the rest. Never clears?

Hi Rick,

The clipboard automatically replaces the old "Copy" item with the new one. It does not retain any previous item in the clipboard. This tutorial will show you how to clear the clipboard though.

Clear Clipboard Shortcut

Hope this helps,

You are wrong Shawn, in one respect.
Windows clipboard WILL replace after each CUT.
Office stores up to 26 or 27 on the clipboard. I forget the exact number!

Why I put cut, instead of copy Shawn is an experience I had in Office 2003
years ago.
Every time I moved the mouse, it would cut and paste to the clipboard from
everything, including Picture Manager

And the problem was to do with a Multi-Media keyboard Driver, in an Acer
desktop..
Took me a week to find the solution! Uninstall it!
That is how I found out Office retains so many items on the clipboard.
Cheers!
