Hi Paul, & All, Paul, this is probably a coincidence but when I open a message from you on this list, I think only with an attachment, a download presents itself. I don't know what it might be as I escape from it sttraight away! Perhaps you can throw some light on what might be happening! I know that I have a couple of downloads set up but this is a sttrange one! All the best, Tony Sweeney.----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Traynor" <paul.traynor@xxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 3:22 PM Subject: [vip_students] Word Tutorial: Lesson 18, Using the office clipboard > > [Collecting and Pasting Multiple Items] > > Introduction: > If you do a lot of cutting, copying, and pasting you will probably > appreciate Word’s Office Clipboard, which holds not one, but twenty-four > cut or copied objects. > > You can use the Office Clipboard to collect and paste multiple items.
