As far as I know Windows doesn't have a multiple copying clipboard. Windows has a *single* copying clipboard - every time you copy something it overwrites whatever was there before. Also as far as I know you can't turn it off so there is no mechanism for turning it on again. Oh - you can of course *paste* the same thing from the clipboard as many times as you like - until you copy something new; is that what you mean? The "bottom right section" of a Windows desktop is called the "System Tray". It doesn't provide any clipboard functionality unless you have some third party software - see below. Some versions of Microsoft Office have their own clipboard but you'll need to get support from Microsoft about those. Possibly via its on-line "Knowledge Base". There are utilities available from third parties that provide multiple copy clipboards but if you've got one of those you'll need to get support from whichver company you got it from. There is at least one "extension" to OpenOffice that provides extended clipboard services. Is this what you are talking about? The one I'm aware of, although I've never used it, is at http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/TextClip -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
