This is much easier to do if you use a Clipboard Extender like the the ones from m8software.com There are free versions. It means you can copy more than one thing at a time before you paste. It also means you can save some clips for later use. eg I save a lot of "boiler text" that I use regularly when entering sources. eg: birth of ,citing , Entries for
Regular readers (!) will know I am a huge fan of M8's FreeClip. In addition to many short pieces of boilerplate text, as Cathy mentions, I have stored all the British Census dates and "templates" for use when transcribing documents such as BMD Certificates, Church Register entries, Medal Cards and so on.
There was a time when I didn't bother with such transcriptions as long as I had attached an image of the document concerned, but Geoff showed in a Webinar that he did this and pointed out that the information was then much quicker and easier to read and that it would always be present, even when (for example) sending someone a gedcom where a picture would not be included.
