Hi Judith,
To find out what version you have just open something like word and go to 
the help menu. Find the "about" selection and this will let you know what 
version you have.

I just tried it again and when I hit control + c once I got the same message 
you did. But if I tapped control + C twice quickly I got the office 
clipboard. Like I stated I am using office 2002. Give it a try again. Make 
sure that there is something on your clipboard first.

HTH

  I have windows xp pro and am not quite sure which office program I have. 
When I tried hitting control C twice all I got was, "Nothing selected".

    Hi,
    I have office 2002, tried this command, and it worked. It could be very 
useful.

    Thanks for the tip.

      If one has Office, one can hit control C control C. Yes, that is 
control
      C twice. I have an extended clipboard program so I am unable to test 
it
      properly. I did get to a clipboard item with the Jaws cursor.

      I don't have a keystroke for the Jaws clipboard, but here's how the
      Windows
      clipboard can be accessed.
      HTH,
      Ricque
      *Clipboard Viewer
      The Windows Clipboard is a short-term storage area where data resides
      between the time you cut or copy and the time you paste. The Clipboard
      Viewer is useful
      if you want to know what data is currently saved on the Clipboard.

      XP has an integrated Clipboard Viewer, but unlike previous versions of
      Windows, it's in hiding, so for ease of access, let's create a Desktop
      shortcut to
      it. Right-click a blank area of your Desktop, click New and Shortcut. 
In
      the
      Location field, type C:WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe\. (Bonus Tip: To
      create
      a similar shortcut, Win98 users can type C:\WINDOWS\clipbrd.exe; In
      Win2k,
      use C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\clipbrd.exe.) Click Next and give the new 
shortcut
      a
      name. I went crazy and named mine Clipboard Viewer. I don't know what 
I
      was
      thinking, but you only live once, so why not? After naming the 
shortcut,
      click
      Finish. Any time you want to see what's on the ol' Clipboard, just
      double-click your new Desktop shortcut.

      I had my wife try this in XP without Jaws and it did not work.  So it
      must
      be something that Jaws is doing.

      Judith,
      I know that, and I assumed he probably remembered it, too.  My 
question
      is,
      is this a modification of the Windows clipboard by way of clever jaws
      programming, or is it a clipboard that's proprietary to jaws.  He was
      asking
      about what I said on this, not about this Jaws feature you describe.

      Rich, I think the feature you are referring to is appending the
      clipboard.
      For example, if you have a list of phone numbers and want to  take all
      of
      them individually from different sources and eventually paste them in
      one
      document this is what you do.
      1.  Select one of the names and numbers you want to put in your list.
      2.  To select it to the clipboard using the simultaneous keystroke of
      windows key and the letter C.

      Do this repeatedly until you have all your names selected and paste 
all
      of
      them into your document with the usual keystroke of control v.

      To get out of your accumulated names or whatever list is being 
appended
      in
      your clipboard, just select anything and copy it with control C at 
which
      time you will be asked if you want to terminate the append function.
      hth,
      Judith
