I always thought that if you copy things to a clipboard and paste it, you
could only paste one thing at a time. If you tried to paste again it would
only paste the last thing you coppied. And once you reboot the computer,
anything in the clipboard would be gone. Is this accurate?

OK.
Now, I'm stumped. I have the same problem. Even though I've pasted the
contents of the clipboard, the next time I use control plus C, I get the
same dialogue box. It would be nice if JAWS had two kinds of paste
commands: one that emptied the paste buffer and one that does not (in other
words, works the way JAWS works now). I think the Freedom Scientific people
must have thought that one might want to paste the contents of the buffer
over and over again, and that is conceivable, but not likely, particularly
when it is a buffer with accumulated segments using the Windows plus C or
Windows plus X commands.
I think one could use the basic control plus v command to paste the buffer,
but otherwise leave it in tact. One might assign Windows plus V to paste
and simultaneously empty the buffer. I think that is a new feature that
ought to be presented to Freedom Scientific.
I think I'll just make such a suggestion, though you ought to get naming
rights. <SMILE>

Ed,
This is really good and to be honest I didn't even know there was a way to
put more than one item in the clipboard. The only not so ideal aspect of it
is that the items come off the clipboard with line breaks after each one, so
it's not the smoothest way to for example copy from one place to another the
first three sentences of a five sentence paragraph, as I'd have to do a
little clean-up work eliminating the line breaks after pasting out of the
clipboard.
Also, can you teach me how to toggle off the windows key + c? After I tried
your method once I now am getting a dialog box titled overwrite clipboard
every time I try to copy anything with ctrl + c, even after I pasted the
test sentences. The box says Pressing ctrl + c will overwrite the clipboard.
Do you want to do this, yes/no." I tried going into the clipboard alt h + f
o and clearing the clipboard but I'm still getting the pop-up.
Many thanks,
Michael
