Mike,
The Spike has existed for a very long time in Microsoft word. I think
you may also have explained the differences between it and appending to
your clipboard in your example. You can manipulate the selected (or
spiked) text however you like with the Spike, whereas when you append to
the clipboard it stays the way you appended it till you transfer it to
your target document. that's my undeveloped or rough understanding at
the moment. others may have better explanations. .

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Spike Feature In Word 2010
Hi All,
Have any of you heard of the Spike feature in Word 2010? It's
explained
below. If this is different from the appending to clipboard feature
other
than different keystrokes, would someone please explain the
difference?
Have you ever heard of the spike? It lets you select and cut multiple
items to the clipboard, then place them back in your document in the
order in which you want and have placed them on the clipboard. Here's
a
simple example of how to use it. Here are three lines of text which
are
out of order.
Line 2.
Line 1.
Line 3.
To rearrange them using the spike, select each line in the text above,
in
its proper order, one at a time.
After each selection, press ctrl+f3. Repeat this process for the
remaining lines until the text disappears.
Then, press shift+ctrl+f3, and you should see
Line 1.
Line 2.
Line 3.
The spike is a nifty little feature once you get the hang of it.
Take care.
Mike
