Sure. In Notetab, hit shift+ctrl+p, or check the Use as Pasteboard option
on the document menu. Henceforth, whatever you copy to the clipboard from
any other program will be added to that open Notetab text document. You
should hear a beep for each time you hit ctrl+c to indicate this. Once you
have copied what you want, you can save the resulting text document in
Notetab, edit it there, or copy its contents for editing elsewhere if you
want.
This is pretty brief, and I suspect it will get you on the right track, but
let me know if it doesn't.

Thank you, Dean. At your suggestion, I've downloaded NoteTab Light and have
spent some time trying to understand the clipboard, which I think is what
you mean by pasteboard, but without much success.
Have you done one of your tutorials on this subject? Or is it possible, by
way of illustration, to give directions for the following steps:
1. Copy a series of email messages and paste them into the NoteTab
Clipboard, and then
2. Copy the clipboard contents to a document in another word processor.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't experienced your problem, and, though I do sometimes use that
clipboard append feature, I also use NoteTab Lite and use its pasteboard
feature, which, once activated, acptures the text of whatever is copied to
the clipboard into a Notetab window for waving or other manipulation. A
possible work-around and another means of achieving the same end.

Hi, everyone.
This weekend I decided to consolidate a series of email messages into a
single word processing file. So, for the first time, I had a reason to use
the Windows key-c append function. I started out with control-c for the
first block of text and tried to append blocks of additional text with
Windows key-c. However, it didn't work. After several trial-and-error
attempts, I discovered that text appended only when I pressed Windows key-c
twice in succession. It worked this way even after I rebooted and made sure
my PC was otherwise shipshape.
No one on the list has described this behavior, which makes me worry that
the append function won't perform reliably on my system.
I'm using JAWS 8 and Windows XP.
Has anyone else had this experience? Any suggestions for what might be
causing or how to fix it?
Thanks.
