    clipboard

    Hi Randy,

    This might be possible if there is an option from the app to copy the file path of each clipboards. As per our research, the clipboard manager lets you copy texts but not images. We suggest checking the functionalities of the clipboard manager and contacting
    the app developer directly to have better assistance on how copy the clipboards.

    Let us know if you need anything else. We're here to help.

    Pasting from clipboard

    Thank you, The first suggestion worked. The second did also provided I did not click in the Paint window first.

    I'd spent some time trying to work it out for myself but was fooled by the clipboard window always closing prematurely. So thanks again.

    Also thanks to Frederick, although solved, I've noted your alternative suggestion.

    How to know where something in my clipboard came from?

    Finding the clipboard

    I'm afraid this didn't help at all, because I still can't find the clipboard to copy and paste from, and when I click windows V, it says my clipboard history is empty. I don't even know how to start using the clipboard. I am not at all tech-savvy, so if
    you can explain step by step in simple English rather than computer terms, that might help. Thank you.
