Hi all. I've read through all the messages on this thread, but I'm still struggling. I'm using Windows 98 SE and Word 2000 and JFW5 point whatever the latest release is. I can't find anything in the menus options that says "clear clipboard" or anything close to that and I've searched diligently under both edit and tools. Control-C pressed twice displays no results that I can find. F-6 says "document payne 1," but then when I press the tab key, I just get the usual stuff about 1 inch, 1.5 inches, etc. I can route my JAWS cursor around to find "clipboard" and can then sometimes find the "close" symbol, and when I click the left mouse button twice it closes the irritating clipboard payne/task bar/whatever, but only until I use it again. What am I missing? Thanks. Donna
