As the notes suggest, I do use the control c to copy the first instance to the clipboard and then the windows key c for each after that. However, when I do another control c, it should overwrite the content of the clipboard, but it doesn't. Thanks for the info.

I know your issue is with jaws9, but perhaps the notes might shed light on some thing you've over look. ** from david. There is a third party called clip clear that will do this very thing for you. It can be found at: http;//www.moonsoftware.com ** from walt. Okay, here's the official deal that I got from FS: * You should be prompted when you press CTRL+C _after_ having used Windows Key+C (the FS clipboard function). * You should not be prompted after having used CTRL+C when you first press Windows Key+C. 3. It is normal to have anything you placed on the clipboard by way of CTRL+C retained when you then press Windows Key+C. The FS clipboard has never overwritten material previously placed on the clipboard by way of CTRL+C. * from walt. Well, it's _sort_ of different. The keystroke to add things to the FSClipboard is Windows Key+C instead of CTRL+C and its really big advantage is that it allows you to make multiple clips; that is, you can copy a few lines, go farther down in a document and copy a few more, etc. Then, when you press CTRL+V to paste the information, everything you copied is there. Next time, use CTRL+C for the _first_ copy, then Windows Key+C or if you don't, everything you copied the last time will still be there. Pressing CTRL+C after having used the Windows Key+C function prompts you to clear CTRL+the clipboard for the next bunch of material. * from walt. There are two clipboards. There's the regular one (CTRL+C or CTRL+X) and there's the FS clipboard introduced, I think, in 7.0 (Windows Key+C). Here's the information from the JAWS help about the FS clipboard: Using FSClipboard FSClipboard extends the functionality of the Windows Clipboard. When you use the Windows Copy (CTRL+C) or Cut (CTRL+X) commands to place text on the Clipboard, it replaces any text already there. When using the FSClipboard feature, text that you copy is added to any text that you have previously copied to the Clipboard. This allows you to continue adding text to the Clipboard until you are ready to paste it into a document. You can only copy text with the FSClipboard feature. To add text to the Clipboard, select it using the text selection commands, and then press WINDOWS Key+C. The text is appended to the end of any text already on the Clipboard. To paste all the text that you have placed on the Clipboard so far, use the Windows Paste command (CTRL+V). The text is inserted into your document at the current location of the cursor. Each block of text that you copied is separated by a blank line. Note: If you attempt to add the same selection of text to the Clipboard more than once, the text is not added. This feature is intended to reduce unintentional duplication. All formatting is removed from text that you copy using the FSClipboard feature. This can be useful in programs like Microsoft Word if you do not want to include styles, numbering, and other formatting information when you paste text into a document. If you want to replace all of the text on the Clipboard with a new text selection, use CTRL+C or CTRL+X instead of WINDOWS Key+C. JAWS asks if you want to overwrite your previously saved items. Choose Yes to replace all the text on the Clipboard with the new selection.
