3) Using ClipMate with askSam
Last month we introduced you to ClipMate - an amazing windows
clipboard extender. I have been using ClipMate for some time and
the benefits are too many to number.
ClipMate greatly increases my productivity. With ClipMate I...
- Never lose a clip. After you find just the right text and copy
it it's inevitable that you will need it again. With ClipMate you
can copy other information and never lose the valuable clip. Even
after reboot the clips are still available.
- Save frequently used clips. Certain information can be used over
and over in letters, notes, emails, eBooks and more. ClipMate
saves time by allowing you to organize these commonly used clips.
Simply select the folder, pick a clip and paste.
- Easily find my old clips. ClipMate has a powerful search engine
to quickly locate a clip
- Combine Clips. Pasting multiple clips, especially from different
applications, is tedious. No more going back and forth. I copy all
items to ClipMate and paste into my newsletter, fax, email at one
time. I can even use the "Glue" feature to combine multiple clips
before pasting.
- Format my clips. The preview/edit window allows me to format a
clip before pasting. I can automatically remove line breaks and
other unnecessary characters, perform search and replace and more.
- Screen Capture. Capture screens to insert into emails or
documentation. Even capture parts of a screen by pressing
CTRL+ALT+F12 from any application.
