Mike,
I wasn't sure whether you were using the office Clipboard or the normal
clipboard; but yes, what you indicate is also true. For the normal
clipboard the append To facility is a JAWS feature. You can copy to the
spike as well as cut to it. TBH, though, I haven't had much experience
in comparing and contrasting how these two applications may do the same
things as, or differ from, each other. however, the JAWS clipboard may
be useful in non word programs also. The spike is meant to be used
within Microsoft word and/or other Microsoft office applications.

Hi Flor,
The way understood the steps is you used the keystrokes to cut the
lines of
text in the order in which you want them to be in the target file. I
tried
this in Word 2002 & it didn't work. Was I doing it wrong? Probably
so!
What I need to try is doing this in Word 2010. But, the steps say to
select
the lines of text in the order in which you want them to appear in the
target file. Isn't this what you do when appending to the clipboard?
I
understand the appending to the clipboard is a Jaws feature, where the
Strike feature is a Word feature. Am I wrong in my assumption? Thank
you
very much for your reply.
Take care.
Mike

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. .
