Hi Elf & others, I settled on using the following line in my scripts, after much experimenting... CopyToClipboard (" ") ; copy space to clear previous clipboard contents copying a nul string to the clipboard has no affect, the previous contents remain unchanged... CopyToClipboard ("") ; copying a nul string * the purpose is to remove the previous contents, not to have a completely cleared clipboard Regards, Paul from Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Elf" <inthaneelf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> if clearing the clip board is figured out, would someone please send me a copy of the work with insertion instructions? I'm interested myself in this one. elf inthaneelf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx __________� View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
