The way I use Clipboard is copy what I want (usually from a webpage or document) by highlighting, then right-click with the mouse and choose Copy, or by using the menu buttons Edit > Copy or by using the hotkeys Ctrl + C. Then open the appropriate application to paste it to. For pictures or images I use Microsoft Paint, and for text I use Wordpad or Notepad (of course you are not limited to just these applications). To paste from the Clipboard I right-click and choose Paste, or use the menu buttons Edit > Paste, or use the hotkeys Ctrl + V. I am not sure the clipboard itself is made to be viewable.
