41. With a Clip, Clip Here
Want a great place to store frequently pasted items, such as text blocks or graphics, for easy insertion into multiple documents? Try the ClipBook Viewer. And no, you won't find this utility in the typical Start, Programs, Accessories menu; nor will you find it on the Windows Setup tab of the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box. If you want to use ClipBook (a carryover from your Windows for Workgroups days), you'll need to go out and find it on the Windows 95 installation CD.
Pop the Windows 95 installation CD in your CD-ROM drive, open an Explorer window, and navigate your way to Other\Clipbook. Double-click Clipbrd.exe and the ClipBook Viewer springs to life.
Here's how to install ClipBook on your hard drive (so you don't have to be at the mercy of the installation CD). With the installation CD in your CD-ROM drive, open the Control Panel and select Add/Remove
Programs. Select the Windows Setup tab, click Have Disk, then click Browse and navigate your way to X:\Other\Clipbook (where 'X' is your CD-ROM drive). You'll see Clipbook.inf on the File Name line. Click OK
twice, select ClipBook Viewer under Components, then click Install. Once the installation is complete, you can launch the ClipBook Viewer by selecting Start, Programs, Accessories, ClipBook Viewer.
