OMG!!!!!!!!!!! The ONLY thing I miss from my pre-OS9 years WAS the
Notepad (I was a bigtime user). I've been using Stickies but somehow I
like the Notepad better (OK, call me eccentric) -- and I had no
idea you
could do THIS!!! Just drag the info out the window and leave it on the
desktop, huh?! Wow!! I had no IDEA!! Just tried it upon reading
this, it
works -- COOL!!!!
Thank you, Bruce! :-D
And once you have it there it's a file, you can drag it anywhere you
want. It gets it's name from the first letters of the clipping or
says Picture Clipping if it's a graphic selection. Now the graphic
selections don't always show when you double-click on the clipping,
but if you go to some other application and select paste, they're
pasted in.
This is one of the coolest things about the Mac OS.
