Wendy, Windows clipboard is a virtual thing - meaning you don't actually see it. It is not a program. What the computer is doing is saving the data you copied into its memory. When you are ready to paste, after opening the email, the computer will paste the contents of this memory after you do the paste command (Control-V).
If you ever want to see what is in the "Clipboard" at any time, you can open up a MS Word document and press the paste button, or type Control-V, and it will "dump" the clipboard comments out for you. Clipboard memory is erased each time you shut down the computer. All sorts of things can be saved to memory: text strings, images, web site URLs. Just be careful that when you copy something into the memory, that you paste it fairly soon after, otherwise you might copy something else into memory, and that overwrites the previous selection. Only one "item" can be saved at a time. Hope this explanation helps. Susan On 5/9/06, Wendy Stever <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am very computer dumb. How do I find the "windows clip board"? I am running XP.
