Using the Clipping Applet

After performing the above steps you will have a new tile in your dock

Scenerio : Let's say we are browsing the web and we come across a real neat tidbit of text... What do we do ? Drag it to our desktop and create yet another clipping file ? No, we use the Dock-It clipping applet to keep the text while at the same time keeping our desktop clean.

Step 1 : Find a real neat tidbit of text ( grabbed from Safari )

Step 2 : Drag text to Clipping tile
Step 3 : Once you drop the text/image on the tile a clipping info window will appear. In this window you can change the text and/or clipping name.

Step 4 : Click Add to add the clipping.
Step 5 : Now that you've added your first clipping - click the Clipping tile.
