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".  Judith

  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
