If you are referring to a clipboard (what is a slipboard?), there are utilities that will do this for you. MultiClip is probably the best known (I think it works with system 7), allowing you to keep multiple clipboards available. There's no need for a word processor to have this feature if it exists elsewhere (though it might be convenient).

Or you can open a temporary document to store the fragments in (or stack them temporarily at the bottom of your document Susan Kayser NCF::KAYSER or kayser%nssdca.span@star.stanford.edu Hughes/STX at NASA/GSFC/NSSDC Greenbelt, MD
