TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
On June 26, Mike McGraw posted a message (snippets follow) about finding a
multiple-item clipboard. I was just re-reading the message (I saved the
summary of the replies he got) and realized that no one suggested using the
Spike feature of Windows. It is built in to the operating system, just like
the Clipboard, and it does exactly what you want without bringing yet
another software product into the picture. It is documented in the Windows
Help file, but you have to go looking for it. This message is very much
after-the-fact, but I thought you might still find it interesting.
