I may not have the technical words to describe this, but: When I highlight something, do a right click and click on "copy", that information is copied to the clipboard, but I never see anything called "clipboard". However, I can then go to notepad or word or some other text editor, open a new file, and then click on paste and that information I just copied will be pasted to that document. You can then edit it, save, etc. as a text file.

   I could be wrong, but I think the old clipboard program that was on the menu, went away with the last version of Windows.

I think you're right, Gus. Now that you mention it, I believe that years ago you could actually see a program called clipboard. Now it just keeps what you copy to it somewhere deep down in the mysterious bowels of the computer, until you tell it where to paste.

It may still be there but hidden. To show it sometimes you have to activate an option.
