I have been trying to find the Clipboard facility in Open Office, ie the facility where you can copy up to 24 items (in MS Word), collect them onto the clipboard, and then paste them into a Text Document with 1 click, but I could not find it.
I'm not sure why you assume that OpenOffice will be a clone of Microsoft Office in this way.
Can anyone tell me how to use this in Open Office?
Clipboard facilities are usually provided by operating systems, not individual applications, since their function includes cutting, copying, and pasting between different applications. So you should probably look there for what you seek. If your operating system does not provide what you need, you may be able to find and install a separate, stand-alone application that provides this facility.
You have kept your operating system a secret, but Windows 10, for example, has this facility, although disabled by default. Go to Start | Settings | System | Clipboard and toggle on "Clipboard history". Cut, copy, and paste in the usual ways. To paste something earlier than the last item cut or copied, use Windows+V to bring up the Clipboard window, showing the items available.
Or you could volunteer to add this facility to OpenOffice. I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
