Oh, I see what you are after, Christine (K)
Almost certainly, whilst in transition between
applications, these are Windows clipboard files,
dumped into and extracted from the clip book
viewer application / system clipboard memory one
at a time. The same would apply with anything
copied to the system memory from any application
and has precious little to do with whether you are using SnagIt or not.
If you want to gain access to the Windows system
clipboard at any time, to see what is being copied in for paste output:
1. Press Win (flag) + R.
The Run prompt displays.
2. Type clpbrd and press Enter.
The Windows ClipBook Viewer window displays.
To see how this works, press Alt+Print Screen and
the selected window capture displays within the
Clipboard window within ClipBook Viewer window.
(Double click to maximise.) Any single item that
you copy to the system clipboard displays in there.
Don't know what it's format is but I suspect that
the system saves it as a .CLP or .TMP file during the swap over process.
Does that answer your query?
Cheers,
Micky G.

Very informative thankyou Michael, but you
haven?t answered my question. This is a
question specifically relating to SnagIt.
I AM using SnagIt, and I AM pasting as an
embedded graphic into Word (so not linking),
with as few keystrokes as possible. I want to
cut out the save and insert steps by inserting directly into Word.
So what type of file am I pasting into Word if I
don?t save it? You have assumed it is a
bitmap. However, I doubt that, given I have
hundreds of them in a file, and given that the
file had not become an unmanageable size. I
have assumed it is something else. But what?
Maybe it gives the file type that is selected
for the default save ? but I?m not sure if this is even possible.
