When you cut or copy some text, a file, or a URL, it is saved to the Clipboard so that it can be pasted elsewhere. The next time you cut or copy an item, it replaces the last object on the Clipboard. The Clipboard Tool allows you to cut or copy multiple items to the Clipboard, and then select which one you'd like to paste. Once the Clipboard Tool is running, everything that you cut or copy will be accessible from the Clipboard.
