Does clipmate handle copies to and pastes from the clipboard of 
application data, say some cells from an Excel work sheet or a piece 
of a Visio diagram, even when the corresponding program is shut down 
after the clipboard operation occurs?

I think that what happens behind the scenes is that Windows stores 
a "Data Object" on the clipboard and that object knows how to persist 
itself to a file, and to do other things like provide a text or rtf 
version of itself  (which is what I use now).  I am  not sure if the 
object depends on having its original program around and running in 
order to provide these services.  

Anyway, I'm afraid its too much work for me to consider this type of 
expansion for the general case for now.   It would be possible to 
write a plugin as a clipboard monitor, if someone wanted to do that.
