If you have ever tried to copy text from one application to another, you
have probably encountered the problems:
Hard returns at the end of every line
Extra spaces/tabs at the beginning of lines
All capitals (ugh!)
Extra formatting copied with text
Invisible extra blank lines pasted at the end
Extra blank lines
All of this makes it a pain, if you want to paste into a word processor
that wraps and formats automatically. ClipCase will fix these problems
in text copied to the system clipboard.
To use ClipCase:
1.Select and copy the text normally in the source application.
(Usually keyboard shortcut Ctrl+c)
2.Run ClipCase. (You can leave running if you want.)
3.Select the desired ClipCase options.
4.Click the ClipCase "Process" button.
5.Paste into the target application. (Usually keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+v)
If you already have ClipCase running and the options set, it is really
only the extra step of clicking the Process button!
Options
Cleanse will do nothing other than remove special formatting (not HTML
tags however), which is always removed anyway. I use this to copy just
text between Quark documents and I don't have to worry about pasting in
foreign fonts and other unexpected oddities. The Uppercase and
Lowercase options will make all text upper or lowercase.
Remove returns will remove:
hard returns at the end of lines
leading spaces and tabs
trailing spaces
"This type of paragraph styling. Will
drive anyone crazy that is trying
to actually use this text. ClipCase
will turn it into this:"
"This type of paragraph styling. Will drive anyone crazy that is
trying to actually use this text. ClipCase will turn it into
this:"
If you have Remove returns active, you can also use Dbl remove rets,
which will remove instances where there are two returns right next to
each other.
No dbl spaces changes the dreaded .<space><space> to .<space> This may
be active during other options. No Blank Lines will remove blank lines.
Trim End trims off extra blank lines at the end. These often exist
invisibly when copying from applications. With Cap Sentences, the first
letter following a period (one or two spaces) is capitalized. Note that
this does not make anything lowercase. To do that, run Lowercase first.
NOTE: Options buttons (Cleanse, Uppercase, etc.) are mutually
exclusive. (i.e., only one can be active) Checkbox buttons (No dbl
spaces, etc.) are independent.
Your settings will be saved from session to session. To restore the
default values select that option from the Files menu. You can start
ClipCase in the Systemtray by setting the menu option. Right-clicking
on the icon in the system tray will allow you to quickly operate
ClipCase, even when minimized.
Other info
Since this app changes the clipboard, you can Remove CRs and then
follow up with Uppercase if you need to.
