Global Clipboard

Choose Main Window to see a cramped interface that displays clips along with information on the clips' format and the number of characters and words they contain. Right-click an entry to save it to a text file, paste it from the clipboard, change the case of the text, or change its location in the slots. The clip window also includes a set of tools for changing program mode, setting the window transparency, and accessing the settings.

Tool tips are a useful bonus, but Global Clipboard's help file suffers from awkward writing that doesn't always clarify the program's features or functionality. Nonstandard icons are another problem. To quit the program, you click what looks like the Windows XP Shutdown button. To clear the clipboard, you click what looks like a Close Window button. Novices will probably want more direction than this application provides, and more advanced users can find other programs with equally good clip-management capabilities.
