Ann,

I use WindowsXP and word2000. When copying, cutting and pasting I don't use
the clipboard because it's antiquated. You say clipboard does not handle
both text and images. I have no idea about that but how I do it is thus:
For copying, press the "CTRL" key plus the "C" key and you have copied the
text and/or image, just like using the clipboard. For cutting, press the
"CTRL" key plus the "X" key and you have just cut the text and/or image
out. For pasting press the "CTRL" key plus the "V" key and paste the text
and/or image into the program of your choice. This is much easier and
faster than fiddling with clipboard - and it works.

PS. If you want a nice multiple copy clipboard you could try the free
"Clipboard Buddy" which I occasionally use for multiple selections and to
splice in lines and paragraphs of often used text (works great with word
when composing letters).  http://www.iquesoft-online.com/

Good luck and down with the MS monopoly.

John
