Some copied items won't appear in clipboard history

Why is Word selective in what it will put in your clipboard history? How does it decide what to accept and what to refuse? Some things that I use a lot it refuses to put in my clipboard history, which is frustrating.

    Enable clipboard history and check that sensitive content such as passwords is excluded.

      It is enabled and most things I copy do go there and stay there until I remove them. But there are occasional ones that won't. And these have been ones I want to repeat over and over, so it is very frustrating. They have been copied numerous times, but never show in the clipboard history. They are just regular words. Is there some special way of copying text that will ensure it overrides whatever is blocking it now?
