In Windows when you copy a selection from an application using the standard shortcut CTRL-C, the right click pop up menu, or the application's own copy menu option, that selection is placed in the Clipboard. When you later perform a paste operation, using CTRL-V or the pop up menu etc, the item currently contained in the Clipboard is placed into the application you are working in.
Only one item can be stored in the Windows clipboard at any one time. So each time you copy something to the clipboard you overwrite the clipboard contents with the new item.
Standard short cut keys and menu options :
Copy : CTRL-C, Edit/Copy
Cut : CTRL-X, Shift-Del, Edit/Cut
Paste : CTRL-V, Shift-Insert, Edit/Paste
ClipMagic hooks into the Windows Clipboard so that it can monitor items being copied onto the clipboard. It takes a copy of each item and stores it in the ClipMagic database. You then have a much easier and faster way to get at items you've copied. More importantly ClipMagic turns the Windows Clipboard into an information gathering tool, and with it's web browser interfaces, and the data it stores with the clip, it makes it ideal for researching information from the Internet.
