Here's how to create quick notes with WordPad/Word scraps:

1. In any document, such as Word or WordPad, click and drag to highlight
some text. Choose Edit|Copy or press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard.

2. Now go to the Windows desktop and right-click in any blank area (i.e. don’t
right click an icon). Choose Paste from the right-click menu. Or click a
blank area of the desktop and Ctrl+V.

3. A little icon appears on your desktop that looks (appropriately) like a
piece of paper with highlighting on it. Unfortunately, if you have more than
one scrap, they can get confusing quickly. To rename the scrap, right-click
on the icon and choose Rename.

To use your new scrap you often can just click and drag it into a document.
Or you can double-click the scrap icon, highlight the text within and copy
and paste it into another program. If you have text you use a lot, this
quick tip can save you quite a bit of time.

Find a piece of paper & tear it up - there you have scraps.

I guess we will never know if that helped Ronald E. Foltz.

At least Ronald E. Foltz came back to chastise "peter" for a little
levity... but may never return to let us know if this was what they were
looking for.

Happens a lot on the newsgroups.
