Where is Windows Clipboard?

I was looking at my Ford cd. It says that you can copy say a paragraph to clipboard. How do you get to clipboard?

What they are saying is you select the paragraph you want (highlight it using your mouse). Then press CONTROL + C. That will COPY it to the clipboard. You can open your favourite word processor (EX. MS Word). Then press CONTROL + V and it will paste it.

-Matt

P.S. Up above you press the CTRL button and hold it then press the letter after it. Either the C or the V.

No problem. You USED to be able to view the windows clipboard but I don't think you can in XP.

The answer is 'in memory'. Beast, how did you previously view the clipboard?

I don't remember if it was Windows 3.1 or 95/98 but you could open it and view what is there.

In earlier versions of Office you could only cut or copy one item at a time to the Clipboard. The item would stay there in memory (although there was a circuitous route to view it if you really wanted to) until you either shut down, or selected and cut/copied another item.

In Office 2000 you can store multiple items on the Clipboard. you can view what has been copied to the clipboard by opening up MS Word (or other Office program), and activate the Clipboard Toolbar (View menu==>Toolbars==>Clipboard.) If you rest your cursor on the selection, it'll show a snippet of what's on there.

All Programs, Acessories, "Wordpad or Notepad" are all that's in XP. Not sure if there is a clipboard.

On my laptop, running WinXP Pro, the Windows Clipboard Viewer can be found under - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CLIPBRD***** - Isin't is supposed to be in y'all's System Tools file, under the Start Menu?

I meant under Start-Accessories-System Tools-

I think thats where I found the Viewer when my notebook was new. .I can't stand the way MS & other programs throw all their junk into the Start Menu, I've been using the same 'personal layout' since Win95 came out.

On Edit: You know you're up late when you're on the same time Mike W is on!!
