Clipboard Magic helps improve, extend, enhance the Windows Clipboard

When you copy or cut text, it is held temporarily in an invisible portion of memory called the ClipBoard. Windows XP had clipbrd.exe referred to as the Clipboard Viewer, but this was discontinued starting with Windows Vista. So if you are looking for good freeware to manage and view your Windows clipboard, along with some advanced features, try the latest version of Clipboard Magic.

The Windows Clipboard has the limited function of offering a  single buffer that gets overwritten by every new “copy” operation, i.e., some clipboard holds a single item – and whenever a new item is copied, the previous item automatically gets discarded. Clipboard Magic offers you many features that let you manage your clipboard entries.

Clipboard Manager for Windows PC

Clipboard Magic is a Windows clipboard enhancement program. This clipboard extender dramatically improves your productivity when copying, cutting, and pasting repetitive text or for web form entry. The program has the ability to hold a high volume of copy-pastes and templates of letters. Besides, it can save names, as well as all sorts of web addresses that you might pick up while surfing, but do not particularly want to bookmark them.

Unlike most other programs which offer a single buffer, Clipboard Magic allows multiple entries. With a click of the mouse, any item in the stored clip list is automatically copied to the Windows Clipboard, allowing you to paste the text in any document or web form. Text may also be edited and added manually.
