How Clipboard Magic Works
Clipboard Magic works by remembering plain unformatted text that has been copied to the Windows Clipboard. This text is stored in the Clipboard Magic clip list. The copied text can be one character or several pages.
The item list works like a stack of plates. When new text is copied to the Clipboard the text is stored at the top of the Clipboard Magic item list. When new text is added the other items in the item list move down one row. Any item at the very end of the list will disappear. If the Copy From Bottom option is checked, newly copied text is added at the bottom of the list and all clips above move up one row.
Expanding Text
Usually, only the first line of the copied text will show up on the item list. To see any remaining text right-click the mouse on the Clipboard Magic screen and choose Zoom In from the pop up menu. To return to list view right-click and choose Zoom Out from the pop up menu.
Rows
The Clipboard Magic item list contains a maximum number of rows. This value can be changed in the Options screen. When new text is added to Clipboard Magic, any text on the last row of the item list will no longer be accessible.
Copying Clipboard Magic Text to the Clipboard
To copy text stored in Clipboard Magic back to the Windows Clipboard simply click on the corresponding row on the item list. The copied text may now be pasted to another Windows application. You may also navigate the clip list using the Up and Down arrow keys. Select a clip with the keyboard using the [Ctrl]+[L] HotKey.
Manually Changing Text
The text stored in Clipboard Magic need not always be copied from the Clipboard. Text may also be entered manually.
To manually enter text you must first zoom in to the desired item list row. At this point you may enter whatever you wish and it will be saved when you zoom out.
Inserting a Clip
To insert a clip, select the clip above which you want to insert. Then from the menu choose Edit | Insert Clip or use the [Ctrl] + [I] hotkey.
Deleting Clipped Items
To delete clip list items simply highlight the row(s) in the clip list by clicking on it and press the delete key or choose Edit, Delete from the main menu.
To delete all clip list items at once choose File, New Clip List from the main menu.
Moving a Clip Down the Clip List
To move a clip down the clip list, select the clip that you want to move. Then from the menu choose Edit | Move Down or use the [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [D] hotkey.
Moving a Clip Up the Clip List
To move a clip up the clip list, select the clip that you want to move. Then from the menu choose Edit | Move Up or use the [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [U] hotkey.
Saving Clipboard Magic Text
The contents of the item list may be saved to a file for later retrieval. To save Clipboard Magic text press the Missing image: save.bmp button or choose File, Save Clip List from the menu.
Sorting Clips
To sort the clip list, from the menu choose Edit | Sort Ascending to sort the clips in ascending alphabetical order. To sort clips in descending order choose File | Sort Descending.
Loading Clipboard Magic Text
A previously saved Clip list may be loaded back into Clipboard Magic by pressing the Missing image: open.bmp button or by choosing File, Open Clip List from the menu.
Clips may also be quickly loaded by choosing a specific clip list from the Lists menu. Under this menu item you should find a list of all the clip lists in the Clipboard Magic program folder.
Editing Clipboard Magic Files
A previously saved clip list may be edited by choosing File, Edit Clip List from the menu. This feature is very handy if you need to rearrange clips or change several of them.
Each clip is separated with a form feed (ASCII 12) character. You can copy and paste these characters to add new clips.
Note that at the start of each clip is a header record. The header record consists of thes fileds separated by tabs: clip title, type and color. When adding new clip you don't need to add the header, it will be created automatically.
Appending Clip Lists
To append a clip list onto the currently loaded clip list, choose File | Append Clip List from the main menu.
Import Text File
To load a text file into the clipboard list press the Missing image: import2.bmp button or select File, Import Text File from the menu. Each line of the file will show up as a separate clip.
Loading Text Files into a Clip
To load an entire text file into a single clip, first select the desired clip, then either right-click on the clip and choose Load Text File into Clip from the pop-up menu or choose File | Load Text File into Clip from the main menu. A prompt will appear allowing you to select which file to load. Any existing text in the clip will be overwritten.
Saving a Clip to a File
To save a clip to a text file, first select the desired clip, then either right-click on the clip and choose Save Clip to Text File from the pop-up menu or choose File | Save Clip to Text File from the main menu. A prompt will appear allowing you to choose the name of the file to save.
Drag and Drop
Clipboard Magic supports text drag and drop. From any application that supports text dragging, like Notepad for example, selected text may be dragged and dropped onto the currently selected cell in the Clipboard Magic clip list. A dialog box will pop up asking if the contents of the currently selected cell should be replaced with the dropped. If you answer no, the text will be added as a new clip.
To drag text from another application onto Clipboard Magic, highlight the text, press the left mouse button on the highlighted text and drag the highlighted text onto the Clipboard Magic clip list. The text will be inserted in the currently selected cell.
A clip in the Clipboard Magic clip list may be dragged and dropped onto any application that accepts text dropping. For example, if you wanted to create a text file on your desktop containing a particular clip item, simply drag that item onto your desktop.
To drag text from the Clipboard Magic clip list to another application press the right mouse button on the desired clip to highlight it and drag to the other application.
System HotKeys
Clipboard Magic has two system-wide hotkeys that activate different functions even when Clipboard Magic is not the foreground application. For example, if you were filling out a web form in Netscape you could use the series paste hotkey to quickly fill in the form fields even with Clipboard Magic minimized to the system tray.
Restore/Hide HotKey
The Restore/Hide HotKey, when pressed, will restore Clipboard Magic to full view if the program has been minimized. If Clipboard Magic is already in full view pressing the hotkey will minimize the program. This hotkey defaults to using the [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[R] key combination but you may change this in the Options Screen.
Series Paste HotKey
To use the series paste feature, you first must select the first cell in the clip list from where you wish to begin pasting. Then, in your application, press the hotkey to sequentially paste successive item in the clip list. This hotkey defaults to using the [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[P] key combination but you may change this in the Options Screen.
Row Pasting
Row pasting allows you to paste a certain row from Clipboard Magic into the current application. If the Allow Row Pasting From Current Row option has been selected, Row Pasting works by using the [Control1]+[Control2]+[number of rows down from current clip] hotkeys. To use Row Pasting first in this way select the first item on the clip list you want to work with. In your application, use the [Ctrl]+[Shift] keys and any number key. The number key will correspond to that many rows down from the currently selected clip. So, to paste the currently selected clip press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[0], to paste the clip two rows down press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[2]. You cannot Row Paste more than 9 rows down from the current clip.
If the Allow Row Pasting From Current Row option is unselected, Row Pasting uses the [Control1]+[Control2]+[row number ] hotkeys. With this feature you can only paste the first 9 rows.
Append Mode
Clipboard Magic is in clip append mode when the Append Mode menu option under the Edit menu has a check beside it. In append mode any copied text will be appended to the currently selected clip instead of added as a new clip.
Clearing the Clipboard
The text currently in the system clipboard may be cleared using the Clear System Clipboard option in the tray icon pop up menu. Note that this function works only with text not any other clipboard formats.
Command Line Options
Clipboard Magic can be started with a command line option to use a specific configuration file. The format is /INI={path to config file}
e.g.: ClipboardMagic.exe /INI=G:\Data\CMagic\CM1.ini
Clipboard Magic can also be started with a command line option to use a specific clip file. The format is {path to clip file}
e.g.: ClipboardMagic.exe G:\Data\CMagic\MyClips.clp

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why am I frequently being prompted with this message box "Unable to Open Clipboard"?
A. Another application is interfering with the clipboard in some way.
Q. When I copy from a Rich Text document or HTML document into Clipboard Magic all the formatting gets lost.
A. Clipboard Magic currently works only with plain text. Any special formatting will be lost when copying.
Q. I copied something to the clipboard but it didn't show up in Clipboard Magic.
A. Clipboard Magic currently only handles text formats, what you are copying possibly is not really text. For example, if you have a text document open and you press the [Print Scrn] button, what is actually copied is a bitmap image, which Clipboard Magic currently can't handle.
Q. I have set the beep on copy option but it never beeps when I copy text. Why?
A. Assuming the volume in your speakers is turned up, try checking to make sure that the beep sound is defined. In Start | Control Panel | Hardware and Sound | Sound | Change System Sounds, make sure the Default Beep is defined. e.g. "Windows Ding.wav"
Q. If I Clear the Clip List, add new items and then exit Clipboard Magic, it didn't really clear the clip list. It appears that it just closed that particular clip list but didn't open a new one. When I closed Clipboard Magic it didn't auto save the new list because there wasn't one listed in the panel at the bottom of the form.
A. Make sure that the Prompt To Clear option is set.
Q. How can I append a new clip to a 'zoomed-in' clip?
A. To add to a clip first turn off clipboard archiving, then zoom in and then copy the text then use Ctrl + V to paste into the zoomed clip.
Q. When Clipboard Magic starts I get an error like: "Unable to assign hotkey". How do I fix this?
A. Another program you have running probably is already using the offending hotkey. In the Options screen change the hotkey to a different key.

Multi-Language Support
This program can be configured to support almost any language. Currently only English is officially supported. Users of this software may also easily create support for their own language.
This software uses language files to store all its internal text strings. These files end with the .lng extension. All language files are located in a folder called Languages inside the program folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Clipboard Magic\Languages. To create a language file for your language do the following:
Simply open the existing English.lng file with any text editor such as Notepad.
You will see that the language file is split into two sections [Translations] and [Messages]. To convert to your language replace all the strings to the right of the equal sign (=) with your language's equivalent. Do not translate the text to the left of the equal sign. You do not have to convert lines starting with ; as these are comment lines and are ignored by the translator. You should not convert any text between square brackets [] as these are very important to the translator.
Note that menu captions use the ampersand (&) to enable a hotkey on the character following it.
Finally save the modified text file to the name of your language, e.g. Francais.lng.
To try out your language file select File | Language from the main menu and select your language.
Please be sure to send us your translations so we can allow everyone else to use your language with this software as well. Contributors will be noted on this page.

Known Issues
1. Sometimes Clipboard Magic will stop archiving clips. When this happens you will have to close down the program and then restart Clipboard Magic to resume archiving. Note that if the tray icon can be seen Clipboard Magic is still running. Right click the tray icon and choose Close to close Clipboard Magic.
2. When some applications are running, copied clips will appear duplicated in Clipboard Magic. This is a bug in those applications not Clipboard Magic. They are sending multiple updates to the clipboard. You should contact those companies to fix their bugs. To minimize this behavior you can set the Ignore Duplicates option.

Questions for users new to computers and the Internet
Q. What is Try Before You Buy or Trialware software?
A. Trialware is software that you can try out or demo first. If you decide you like the software, you can then purchase it. When you purchase the program you will either be sent a separate fully functional program and/or you will be sent a registration key file or code with instructions on how to apply the key to your program.
Q. I already have program X installed but I downloaded a new version. Should I install to the same location as the older version?
A. The proper way to upgrade to a new version is to backup any important Program X data files first, uninstall Program X and then install the new version of Program X in the same folder. However, many people simply reinstall right over the old version to save time. Make sure Program X is not running when you do this though.
Q. How do I uninstall program X?
A. Click the Start button to bring up the Start Menu. Then choose Settings and then Control Panel. Double click on the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select the program you wish to remove and then click the Add/Remove button. According to Windows development guidelines, no data files created by the user are to be automatically deleted during the uninstall. Therefore, there may be a few "crumbs" (files) left in the program directory. Therefore, if you uninstalled Program X, the folder C:\Program Files\Program X may contain a few data files. You will have to delete these manually.
Q. I downloaded one of your programs called program.zip how can I run it?
A. Files ending in .Zip are compressed files. To open these files in Windows usually you just have to double-click it and it will open as a folder. If you use an older version of Windows you will need an unzip program such as WinZip. You can find WinZip here: http://www.winzip.com/. Once you have installed an unzip program like WinZip, when you double-click on a .zip file, you will see the contents of the zipped file. Then you can unzip the contents of the zipped file to a temporary file location such as C:\Temp.
Q. OK I figured out how to unzip the file, but how do I install the program?
A. To install the program double-click on the installer file usually called SETUP.EXE or INSTALL.EXE. This will start the installation process.
Q. What is the "system tray"?
A. The Windows system tray is the area to the right or the Windows task bar. Certain programs, including Project Clock and Clipboard Magic, will have small icons here.
Questions about CyberMatrix Software
Q. I have downloaded and installed your trial edition. Now I want to purchase. Will the purchased edition overwrite my data?
A. No. Our business software was designed to leave existing data intact when upgrading the software. However, as a precaution you should always backup your data prior to upgrading. Any report files you have modified will be overwritten though. When you change a report you should save it with a new file name to prevent it being overwritten
Q. I have downloaded and installed your trial edition. Now I want to purchase. After purchase do I just enter a key to unlock the trial edition?
A. No. After purchase you will have to install the full software. But you can install right over the trial edition and it will still use your old data. As a precaution always backup your data before upgrading.
Q. I purchased Program X version 2.00. I notice now that version 2.10 is out. If I upgrade, will I lose the data I have been working with?

A. You can just delete the bad report and reinstall the software to restore the original.
Q. Why do I see the error "There is no default printer selected" when I try to print?
A. You probably have not set a default printer in the 'Control panel - Printers' window.
Q. I purchased Program X version 1.00 several years ago. I got a new machine and tried to reinstall using the download directions I got when I purchased the software. However the link no longer works. What am I doing wrong?
A. We don't maintain downloads for outdated versions on the web site. Existing customers can upgrade to the latest version at a 50% discount though.

Q. What is the time frame for a return email to help get an issue resolved if one arises?
A. It depends on the severity. Urgent issues get a response almost immediately during business hours. Non-urgent issues should get a response within two business days.
Q. I downloaded the trial edition of program X using Internet Explorer but when I tried to run the software I received a message that the setup files were corrupt and to obtain another copy of the software. What am I doing wrong?
A. This is most likely a bug in Internet Explorer. Try downloading the file instead of trying to run it. Save the file to a folder like My Documents not your desktop. We can always email you the file if need be.
Q. I tried to download program X but it said it was not a valid archive. What am I doing wrong?
A. Nothing. Large Zip archives sometimes become corrupted during the download process. Try emptying your browser cache and try downloading again. If you still can't download, send an e-mail and a trial edition setup file can be e-mailed to you as an attachment.
Q. I tried your X program and like it. Do you have a version that does Z or runs on Y?
A. All CyberMatrix software is listed at the main web site. If you don't see it, we don't carry it. If you have a feature request for a particular program feel free to send in an e-mail.
Q. My program shows the wrong date format. How can I make the software use the system date format we use?
A. This is probably due to a bug in Windows. Try these steps:
1) choose Start/Configuration/Regional settings
2) on the first tab select a different country, e.g. Germany, and press [APPLY]
3) set the country back to what it should be and press [OK]
4) Now the software will behave again as expected.
Q. Is it possible to do a silent install of your software?
A. Yes like this:
Setup.exe /SP- /silent /noicons "/dir=c:\Program Files\My Program"
Just change Setup.exe to the name of the setup file you want to install and My Program to the folder you want the software installed to. Note that in software with multiple install options, the first option will always be chosen with this technique. In this case you can use the /Type parameter like so:
Setup.exe /SP- /silent /noicons "/dir=c:\Program Files\My Program" "/Type=Client Only"
Q. I downloaded Program X and now my anti-virus software says the file is infected with a virus. When are you going to address this?
A. No CyberMatrix software has ever been verified to contain a virus. Most likely, you are seeing a false detection. If this happens send us an e-mail detailing the anti-virus software you use, the program claimed to contain a virus, it's version and where you obtained (downloaded) it.
