Hi Marilyn, If you copy something to the Windows clipboard, it remains there untilat least one of two things happens. 1. you copy something else to the clipboard, which over-writes what was already there. 2. You re-boot the computer, in which case the clipboard is emptied when the memory is dumped. The clipboard is not application specific, meaning, if for example you copy text from a Notepad file, and then close Notepad, the text remains on the clipboard and could be pasted into Microsoft Word document, or some other text editor. If you have copied a full page of text to the clipboard, all you would have to do is copy a space to the clipboard, and all of the text would be gone, leaving only the space. HTH, Richard Q.

I don't want to accidentally copy and paste into a new e mail and then send it to the next person rather than to the one I thought I wanted to send it to. In other words, sometimes I decide not to send it but think it remains on the clip board. If I'm borrowing trouble, please let me know. I have enough computer issues already. marilyn For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
