    I know how to copy and paste normally but I desparately need to know how to copy different pieces of text one at a time and then paste them in sequence elsewhere.
    So it gets pasted in the order that I copied them. is this possible? If so, how do i do it?
    Thanks for any help

    Unfortunately, I don't think you can Ctrl+select when copy/pasting. Umm, worse comes to worse, you could always copy the whole chunk of text then delete the parts in the middle that you don't want.

    Office 2000 will store up to 12 items in the clipboard. Don't know if it works when pasting outside of Office programmes. I think you can Ctrl+select separate lines of text though

    Naa, I need to do it outside windows, and the CTRL Select doesn't work either, unless i don't know how to work it.

    Any more ideas?

    What app and what data source? There may be another approach.

    Hi Jetheat

    Your looking for a Clipboard Utility. Here is a page full ,all free you can review. I use Yankee Clipper, has many nice features. Most handy... A sequence of collected clipboard copy's from various locations can be pasted as one group into another document / screen.
