I take it this is the replacement for "M8 Multi-Clipboard" which I downloaded apparently back in 2006 and used for awhile until I later discovered "Clipboard Help+Spell" at http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/clipboardhelpandspell/index.html, which had additional features. Though I haven't had time to give it a workout yet, it looks as though Spartan Clipboard may have many of those additional features.

BTW, what's the reason for the change in the time the day's offer expires? Is it a temporary thing having to do with this weekend being New Year's, or permanent, and if the latter, why?

Activated automatically like yesterdays giveaway.Been testing it for a while and its a quite handy utility,but you may need to go through the help file first.My help file opened fine though it took a while,its in html so it will open with your default html browser.If its not working for you then go to the installed directory,in the help folder and open the html file manually.
It automatically captures what you cut/copy and puts it in a temp cells section which may fill up but you're free to move them to a permanent cell.A preview window shows your text/pic thumb,however in my case this window is a bit nagging,it keeps shifting.A nice touch is that it automatically pastes in the program your working on like word as long as that window is open and the cursor is active plus if you copy a url it can automatically launch it in your browser.It also has a simple editor where you can edit whatever is in its clipboard like change the case or remove ascii characters.You can aslo assign a cell a hot key which is very handy if your keep repeating something,however don't assign a hot key thats in use in the program your working on otherwise it will just override it and paste whatever you assigned in the spartan clipboard.The graphic paste doesn't seem to work for me if you copy an image using explorer instead it just copies the path to that image,maybe am doing it wrong so a little help here is appreciated,however the built in import picture clips seems to be working ok.Note it creates an autorun entry at startup so you may want to disable that in its settings.With that said am definately keeping this.
Thanks gotd for a good year,looking forward to 2012.Happy new year everyone.

When I offer thoughts whether positive/negative I never see them at all. Yet, almost everyday I see a couple of idiots posting that they want to see it for a USB stick & THEY get posted! Don't they realize it defeats the purpose of this site! This is not a "come & get your free software for life site" - the authors of this software title(s) are trying to improve their product & are "paying" the testors with a working registered copy of the program for helping. Again, WHY is that persons' post "allowed" to exist on your list? (go to the home page of almost ALL of the offerings here & they do offer a multi-user or "portable" version for a price!) Why, when I try to be helpful, basically I am ignored? I am not slighted, I am curious, & I am curious to know if those spammed USB remarks count towards the rolling tote board you have on the right of your screen for those suggestions that merit acknowledgement (how's that for a 50 cent word). Anyways, Happy New Year & I am looking forward to many more programs to keep this almost retired mind - working. Thank you GAOTD!

I've used a lot of clipboard managers, with a variety of features and facilities. This, on first sight, looks promising but doesn't really match up to its own hype.

There are a lot of good clipboard managers out there, for the disappointed: Ditto has an enthusiastic userbase, ArsClip is also popular, free and under continuous development, as is my current favourite, Clipboard Help and Spell, and I would suggest that the developers of Spartan look at all three of these to see how ease of use and background functionality can be merged to make a successful product.

I can't make links work for some reason: however, the three I mentioned, in order, can be found at:

Re Quick Start Guide Problem...

If it didn't open, it's because you have no association fot .HTM files. You can open it by pointing yout browser to
/Program Files/Spartan/Help/2.htm
