Hi, I am at a total loss then. Maybe after the Super Bowl my brain along with others will chime in here and help with this puzzling dilemma.

When copying any info you select the info and press control + c to copy that info to the clipboard. Then let's say you move to another piece of info and highlight it. Then by pressing windows key + c you will append the new info to the end of what was already on the clipboard. The only way to stop this is by pressing the initial keystrokes of control + c and you will be prompted that this new action will over write all info on the clipboard and do you wish to continue. Therefore this starts a whole new chain of copying. HTH Rich
