CNET Editors' review
This timesaving application lets you store frequently used text fragments and items copied to the Clipboard. Flashpaste Lite's system-tray icon allows access to the text-manager window, Clipboard entries, and recently used or saved text entries. After installation, it automatically runs a wizard that guides first-time users on how to set up and use the program. It also comes with preloaded samples of commonly used text fragments. A predefined hot key is available to summon the program's text-selection dialog and insert the last copied clip. However, unlike similar applications, Flashpaste Lite doesn't let you assign a hot key to each stored text. Instead, you position the cursor in the desired location, call the program, then select the text you want to insert. Though you won't find any groundbreaking features, this simple Clipboard is easy enough for any user and it's offered at no charge.Publisher's Description

"Simple product...great tool for me as a Chat Operator!"
Version: Flashpaste Lite 3.5
Pros
Great and easy to use and personalize. I liked it so much I upgraded to the full version for a small price.
Cons
The free version is a little too simple....but I gladly upgraded to the full version.
Summary
Great product, especially for those of us who work from home. I was working as a Chat Operator and it was great to just plug in my client's regular customer service phrases; like, greetings. closings, pricing packages, etc. The free version was cool but I used it so much that I ended up purchasing the full version, but it was worth it.

"Considering it's free, this product is amazingly useful"
Version: Flashpaste Lite 3.5
Pros
Easy to use and quick to access, it is invaluable for those who's work requires the use of frequently repeated string. Further, it doesn't use the clipboard so if you copy something and then use flaspaste, the first item is still in the clipboard.
Cons
There's really nothing I DON'T like about it. Sure there's other stuff it could do but this it's free! What do want: a foot massage? The retail version has some handy features but I not so much that i can bring myself to pay $30 for it.
Summary
I'm a data-miner for a company and I have a giant list of stock criteria strings (some several hundred characters in length) in flashpaste that I use for my queries. Programmers will find it useful too, as you can save strings of stock procedure text (such as generic opening calls and end of procedure clean-up). Hell, use it in emails to reply to those idiots you work with who pester you with stupid questions! Can't bring yourself to actually type a response to their inane tripe? Just create some stock text to blow them off with almost instantly! In short, I love this program.
