But alas--the subject of "CLIPBOARD" in step 3) threw me off! I know how to cut and paste (either with Wordpad or the web) using the CNTRL + C technique, but I have no clue how to access a "CLIPBOARD" itself you refer to--nor could I find any specific, direct-on-point, explanation anywhere on the web!! Alternatively, I typed the required key number on a Wordpad document, and cut it, but when I tried to paste it under "New Key," all I got was a "BLOOP" sound effect (i.e., "error"). This is probably something that is simple---so simple that it isn't explained in any great detail anywhere---but it's something that I must have obviously missed in 15 years of using computers! I would dearly love to have "My Scans" pinned to my START menu so I don't have to go "fishing" in "My Documents" every time I want to use it!! Gee! Can you help!? Where do I find the "CLIPBOARD" you are talking about!!?? Thanks! RICHARD BURDICK I was able to follow the instructions and see what needed to be done–all the way down through the very last step.
