From ClipBook Viewer HELP:
[[When you cut or copy information from a program, it is moved to the
Clipboard and remains there until you clear the Clipboard or until you cut
or copy another piece of information. The Clipboard window in ClipBook
Viewer shows the contents of the Clipboard. You can paste the information
from the Clipboard into any file as often as you like. However, the
information is only stored on the Clipboard temporarily.
Using ClipBook Viewer, you can cut or copy information from another program
and store it in a page that you can name, save, use again, and share with
others. ]]

From ClipBook Viewer HELP:
[[To save the contents of the Clipboard to a file
In ClipBook Viewer, click the Window menu, and then click Local ClipBook.
On the File menu, click Save As.
In Save in, navigate to the folder where you want to save the file.
In the File name box, type a name for the file you want to save.
Click Save.

Note
The default extension for a Clipboard file is .clp. ]]

This will clear out *everything* from the System Clipboard.

To clear the contents of the Clipboard
1. In ClipBook Viewer, click the Window menu, and then click Clipboard.

may free some memory.

You just paste it. The clipboard exists in memory.
 
The utility 'clipbrd.exe' is probably left over from Windows 3.1 days when
it was located in the Control Panel.
It can be accessed by typing 'clipbrd.exe' in the run dialogue , or you can
create a shortcut to it as you would normally.

With a blank word doc on screen simply hold Ctrl key and press C twice, this
will display the contents of the clipboard. To clear the clipboard with the
keyboard hold the "Shift" key and hit the "Space bar" a couple of times then
hold Ctrl key and press C. This replaces what was on the clipboard with
spaces (thus as good as empty) To clear the clipboard pane from the scren
press Crtl with F1. RB
