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
