View source for What is the clipboard?

<br />
The clipboard is not a program you can access, it is a block of your computer memory. Anything you copy is stored in a special section of your upper memory called the clipboard.<br />
<br />
Any time you Copy (CTRL-C) or Cut (CTRL-X) the contents are sent to the clipboard and they are then available to be Pasted (CTRL-V) into another program.<br />
<br />
The clipboard always holds the last item you copied unless you turn off your computer.<br />
