clipboard

Although this is the wrong forum for this question. It allows up to 24 items
to be stored via a copy or cut keyboard action, such Ctrl C or Ctrl X and
then paste into another location.

If you are in any Microsoft product press Ctrl F1 to call up the task pane
and then from the dropdown select Clipboard. This will show any items you
may have copied or cut from the application during use.

That depends on which clipboard you mean and the context in which you
want to use it.

The clipboard is a notional place where data is (at least notionally)
temporarily stored when you use the Copy or Cut commands that are
implemented in almost every Windows program, and from where it is
retrieved when you use the Paste command. (If there are no Copy, Cut or
Paste menu commands available, try Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V
respectively).

But there is the a standard Windows clipboard, which can be used with
almost any Windows program, and also the "Office clipboard" incorporated
in recent versions of Microsoft Office. The Office clipboard can store
multiple items if you're copying and pasting between Office
applications.

In addition, the details of clipboard behaviour vary between
applications. For instance, Copy and Cut behave very differently in
Excel and Word.

Finally, are you just trying to use the clipboard as an ordinary user,
or do you want to program it? If so, in what language? Is this a class
assignment?

Ordinary user, not in school.
I want to print text in mirror image so I can heat transfer some
English-language labels on things I'm making (not t-shirts). I don't
think Word can make mirror images of text. I saw a post somewhere that
metioned doing it in clipboard somehow. I didn't get anywhere with the
instructions though. So I thought I'd try again to find out about
using clipboard. But what I'm really after is mirror-image text.
Thanks in advance.

Most Win2K or higher printer drivers offer a Mirror image option.
