Introduction

How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying one item in an application and pasting it in a different application. Wishing instead that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each or all of these items. Now, using CopyPaste, you can with a vengeance!

CopyPaste is a fast ( very fast ) and compact ( only 110K ) clipboard extender. 10 clipboards are instantly available at your fingertips. With CopyPaste, unlike other programs you have direct access to every clipboard. CopyPaste can run completely in the background under Windows. It saves you the tedium of opening a special clipboard window or selecting a menu only to paste a specific clipboard item. Most of the time spent on computers is spent moving around data. Copying and pasting are the primary methods of moving text and numbers. CopyPaste is a real timesaver because it speeds up this very common operation and adds a central area common to all applications where text can be moved, archived, and in the future changed with clipboard tools that can perform operations on clipboard text.

CopyPaste is an evolving application. You can expect to see many improvements over the coming months. Purchase Copypaste now and you will be supporting this development, get all upgrades free, and enjoy the growth of a good software investment.

Your comments and suggestions drive the development of CopyPaste. Please don't be shy to write and tell us what you think.

How to use CopyPaste

Keyboard Support

It's easy:

1. select an object ( picture, text, sound, document ... ),

2. hold down the <CTRL> key,

3. type "C" (Copy) ( or "X" (Cut) or "V" (Paste) ),

4. type a number between 1 and 9,

5. release the <CTRL> key

Simply copy, cut or paste like before but just add a number.

CopyPaste supports the old-style Cut/Copy/Paste commands.

Summary:

CUT: 	CTRL-X-n 	or 	SHIFT-DEL-n

COPY: 	CTRL-C-n 	or 	CTRL-INS-n

PASTE: 	CTRL-V-n 	or 	SHIFT-INS-n

Menu Support

If you enable menusupport in the Preferences dialog box, CopyPaste changes every Cut/Copy/Paste menu into a hierachical menu which gives direct access to every clipboard.

IMPORTANT: this can only be used for applications that use real menus. Microsoft's newer applications like Office 97 do not.

User Interface

Clicking on one of the small toolbar clipboard icons shows its contents in the clipboard window.

Pressing the right mouse button gives you a popup menu with 3 (self explanatory) options (see above).

Utilities

CopyPaste has utilities to act on text in the clipboard. Utilities can be created by other programmers and added to CopyPaste. The utilities act directly on the open clip. The included utilities are listed below. More will be available with each version. We will give a registered version of CopyPaste to every programmer that creates a new utility that we include.

Preferences

In the preferences dialog you can set the checkbox that CopyPaste should use all clipboard formats. This option allows one to copy a complex MSWord page with mixed text and graphics into one clipboard. It uses more memory, but it extends the compatibility between all applications.

If you enable menusupport in the Preferences dialog box, CopyPaste changes every Cut/Copy/Paste menu into a hierachical menu which gives direct access to every clipboard.

IMPORTANT: this can only be used for applications that use real menus. Microsoft's newer applications like Office 97 do not. Microsoft doesn't appear to trust their own API. Anybody know why?

If you enable "Menus display Text" then every <Paste> Popup Menu displays its contents ( Text only, up to 32 characters ).

Features for Registered Users

We appreciate your registering (paying for CopyPaste). This allows us to continue improving the program also registering the program gives you free upgrades for the life of the program. We release updates of the program every month or two and there are many useful features and abilities that will be incorporated into the program over time.

Registered users receive:

1. The built in abilities of CopyPaste

2. A key to remove the startup (reminder) dialog

3. E-mail hotline tech support (rarely needed but nice)

5. Email notifying you immediately of new versions

6. Good karma and a deep refreshing sleep at night.

7. Save Clips thru Restarts is available only to registered users

8. Future upgrades are available free to registered users

CopyPaste stores its clipboards in a file (called a clipset) in the current CopyPaste-directory on your hard disk and reloads from this file at startup. Its possible to use other files (clipsets) to store different sets of clipboards. This gives registered users an unlimited number of these clipsets to hold information.

To load a new clipset just select the 'Open' item from the 'File' menu or toolbar. This option is useful for storing different sets of clipboards for different applications. For email you may have a clipset with 10 clipboards (of unlimited size) with certain URL's, eddresses, letters, etc. For your word processor you might have several clipsets with each clipsets clipboards filled with boilerplate text, sample letters, invoices or whatever information you might want to have instantly available to save you time.

CopyPaste is the genius of the inspired Windows/NT programmer Raimund Jakobsmeyer who in turn was inspired by the work of his brother Peter Hoerster who was inspired by his brother Raimund Jakobsmeryer. A recursive loop of inspiration that hopefully will never stop.

With design and marketing by Julian Miller.

Finally CopyPaste is the work/play of many beta testers who have submitted wonderful suggestions and comments that continue to extend and improve the program. Let us know if your interested in testing out new versions and giving your feedback.
