Microsoft research discovered that "Paste" is the number one most-used
command, and the "Paste" toolbar button is the most-used button in the
whole program:

"Paste itself accounts for more than 11% of all commands used, and has
more than twice as much usage as the #2 entry on the list, Save.

Paste is also far-and-away the number one command in Excel and
PowerPoint, accounting for 15% and 12% of total command use,
respectively.

...

the toolbar button for Paste still gets clicked more than any other
button. "
