Please at least skim this documentation (printing it would be nice too :-). There are many useful features that would not be readily apparent otherwise, thank you.
What is ScrapIt Pro?
Try the utility that made MacUser's list of the top 30 shareware programs of 1995! Anything you can copy to the clipboard can be pasted and stored in a ScrapIt Pro file. Features full support of Apple's latest technology; Drag & Drop, QuickDraw 3D, Speech, and more!

Text items or Sounds can also be created from within ScrapIt Pro. ScrapIt Pro has many uses, here’s a list of some ideas:
• Use it as a super notepad to store (and create) all those notes you can’t seem to keep track of.
• Use it to store your favorite letterhead(s) for your letter writing.
• Store all your email.
• Store, sort and view all the GIF or JPEG files you collect from the internet.
• How about storing all your favorite sounds or QuickTime™ movies in a scrap file.
• Keep a clip-art library of all your favorite pictures for use in letters, page layout programs, etc.
• Keep all your favorite recipes in a scrap file for instant access.
Those uses are just a start. Write and tell me what ScrapIt Pro does for you.
