I accidentally copied something when I was getting ready to paste the last thing I copied. Now I can't find the clipboard so I can fetch the first thing I copied. Where did the clipboard go?

The Windows clipboard will only store one item, if something new is copied to the clipboard the item that is already in it is removed.

Thank you, TonyE. I was afraid of that. I was just hoping there was a way to retrieve a large block of text I inadvertently lost b/c I am used to working with a clipboard. Bummer! :)
