Yes, Clipboard is definitely a "program" within Windows (and has been there virtually from day "one" :-)). In Windows XP it is "hidden" in C:\WINDOWS\system32 as "clpbrd.exe". If you "run" it from there, it will show you just what you last copied as its content. However, there is never any need to "run" it from there as it is easily involed by using the "copy" command from any application. It will only retain the last item you copied. If you copy something else, it will overwrite the last entry.
In MS Office, however, the "clipboard" will save the last ten items. Once you copy the eleventh item, the first one is removed. Lance On 5/9/06, Susan Daily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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"?
