Abstract: Described is a system and method that provide an organized view of computer content clippings including text, documents, pictures, and other file types. The clippings are persisted with associated metadata that enables the users to access the clippings in a managed manner via filtering and sorting mechanisms that allow the user to view clippings sorted and/or filtered based on the metadata. The metadata includes originating application information, originating document information, and date and size information. The user can assign categories or projects to the clippings to organize various clippings for a future project to be created from the clippings, assign keywords, and give the clipping a title. The present invention thus allows users to maintain a large database of useful clippings that can be reused in different documents.
