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.
Rich,
What I'm referring to is a feature that I think appeared with the release of Jaws 7.0. It's some sort of trick whereby you can pile up things in the clipboard instead of the clipboard being cleared each time you copy something new into it. Then there are special tricks for pasting the extended contents into a destination. I forget exactly how to do all this, but it's been discussed a number of times over the months. I tried it out once to learn how to use the feature, but never wound up using it thereafter, so I forget exactly how the whole deal works.
More to the point, I never understood if this was a special capability written into Jaws modifying the function of the Windows clipboard, or if it was in fact a proprietary clipboard that's actually part of Jaws. I never heard this explained to my satisfaction. Sorry if I misled you by my remarks.
I still want to know what the keystroke is for reading the contents of the clipboard, whatever the answer to my confusion about there being one clipboard or two.
Hope that's more clear.

Hi Yardbird, I always thought that there was only the windows clipboard. You mentioned a custom jaws clipboard. What is this?
Thanks for the help.
Rich

Did anyone ever answer that question, which someone asked recently? And if not, and you do, please specify whether you're referring to the regular Windows clipboard, or the custom Jaws clipboard, or both.
Thanks.
