Yes, sorry, Petko, for being a little bit off topic now. But if it helps to work easier with the checkbox symbols ....
Eddie, I will start with the end of your posting:

Correct - that's the necessary first step.
Eddie T wrote: When I double-click one of them into a document, EE minimizes into the system tray.
Yes, that is the standard behaviour (EE minimizes after inserting/pasting a clip). In order to change it, please do the following:
- Tools ---> Preferences ---> "
Pasting clips"
- There you will find a value "
Final WindowAction"
- Click on "
waNothing" and change it (via the dropdown menu) to "
waRestore":
- Click "OK" (and if necessary close and restart "Ethervane Echo" again, but I think you need not do so).
Now the EE window will remain, even after inserting a clip into a document.

in the version I downloaded the Help file seems to be broken. I know you said it's not supported anymore, that includes the help file?
I assume we use the same version of EE: "1.1.3. build 128 (stable)" (portable version of course)
In my case the help file works fine: either clicking on "
Help" ---> "
Show Help" or clicking F1
This window opens:
[I just downloaded the portable version again in order to test it. It works. ]

- I can only get it to store one "clipping." I can't get it to acknowledge CTRL+C or Manual Captures.
EDIT: I think I figured out what I was doing wrong. I have to CTRL+C and then Manual Capture into EE. Is that normal? The product splash page mentioned automatic capture (and Manual Capture as an option implies the functionality). Or is automatic capture not enabled with the portable app?
You can store as many clips as you like and it works automatically:
That's the way I do it always:
1) I select the text, symbol, link I would like to store (only pictures do not work) - either in MyInfo or in Word or in my browser etc.
2) I press Ctrl + C
---> The selected text etc. is stored in EE (you can see it directly in the EE window when it is open).
Here is what the help file says about it:
Ethervane Echo monitors the Windows clipboard and automatically captures all textual data that you copy to clipboard in other applications. Captured clips are stored in the database — there is no manual "save" command.
You can also force Echo to capture a clip manually. To do this, click Echo -> Manual Capture, or press Ctrl+M in the main window.
So, with a simple Ctrl + C (or of course also with right mouse click ---> "Copy") all works fine.
