Sorry if this question exist already, I did some searches but could not find one myself.

I am looking for the best programs to copy and paste stuff in windows more easily. So let's say instead of the default copy/paste one item at a time, I could have 5 different paragraphs that could all be pasted somewhere seperately.

Hopefully this is not to confusing. Instead of bveing able to paste 1 item I would like to have a list of items that can be pasted or some similar functionality under windows.

Please help make me more productive, I frequently need to copy and paste different sets of data.

Here is a good exampl, let's say I need to be able to past my email somewhere but on another program or webpage I need to paste my home address.

I'm not quite clear, but maybe you'd like a clipboard manager?

ditto

is an extension to the standard windows clipboard. It saves each item placed on the clipboard allowing you access to any of those items at a later time. Ditto allows you to save any type of information that can be put on the clipboard, text, images, html, custom formats, .....

Or else use autohotkey to map an abbreviation to file text

::em:myemailaddress@email.com

::adr::my address

I second your vote for Ditto, on my system it has been more stable and lightweight than other clipboard managers like Clipx. – Millhouse Mar 15 '11 at 17:24

There is a lot of softwares out there which can help you in this. Here's a few:

Arsclip, ClipX, CopyPasteTool

If you want text expansion in Windows, AutoHotkey is a really great tool. However if you're not a technical person, you should use phraseExpress which is the best text expander in Windows. You can customize snippets like "%c" to send clipboard content.

I'm a fan of ArsClip – Doug Harris Apr 3 '10 at 1:41
How well do those work when the clipboard data isn't placed there but instead retrieved from another application? I think Office does that, especially when copying large volumes of data around. – Joey Apr 3 '10 at 8:42

Outertech ClipboardHistory works great for me. A simple program that does one thing and does it good. No fuzz, no weird behavior etc... etc... simple and straight forward.
