Did you know ...

If you need to copy some information out of a document you are working on, you don't have to "Cut and Paste" it into a new document.

You can keep the contents of the clipboard on your Desktop for later reference by creating a "Scrap". You can recognise a scrap by its icon.

You can create a scrap in two ways. First, if you already have material copied to the clipboard, you can right-click on the Desktop and select "Paste". (NOT paste shortcut, just paste) Afile will appear containing the clipboard information. It looks like a document file except for the torn edge along the bottom. The other way to create a scrap is to select data inside a document then "drag" it onto the Desktop.

Enjoy!
