CNET editors’ review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This application stores multiple text items and images to its clipboard, although its hot key assignments failed to operate during our tests.
Clipboard Box’s intuitive, slim interface rests in your system tray for quick retrieval, and houses up to 100 clips at a time. It also collapses to the left of your screen, leaving only its arrow button visible for fast access. We were impressed with how it loaded each image and copied text in numerical order, awaiting your assignment into a document. Simply double-click the image or text on the interface when you are ready, then hit Paste in the appropriate place, just as you would when using the Windows clipboard.
Unfortunately, the hot keys associated with each image box didn’t work during tests. But even with that flaw and the 40-use trial limitation, those who often capture Web text and images will appreciate how this program lets you snatch up clips and determine their resting place later.
Publisher’s description
Clipboard Box improves the functionality of your Windows by adding clipboard functions. You can perform routine copying and pasting operations in lesser time and more efficiently than before. The productivity can be enhanced by adding one hundred clips instead of one like in Windows. This feature gives it the capability of performing many times better than the standard Windows version. Adds Find Search function. Version 3.6 includes unspecified updates.
