VistaNoteMSM

VistaNoteMSM is a straightforward application that comes in handy when you want to store text from the clipboard, write simple drafts, and export the content to a TXT document.

The setup requires minimal effort from your side. However, you must have .NET Framework installed or it won't work. It's recommended to run the app in administrator mode to avoid popup errors.

The clipboard manager is wrapped in a self-explanatory interface, consisting of a working area, a font manager and a simple toolbar that packs the "New", "Open", "Save", "Print", "View" menus. The layout's theme can be changed from the menu opened by the "V" button.

You have the choice to make a new note from scratch or open an existing plain text document from the computer. It would've been a good addition if the app offered support for other text file formats besides TXT, like RTF, DOC or ODT.

VistaNoteMSM is automatically sent to the system tray, where you can access the main panel and paste the text stored in the clipboard into the editor. Each copied text is monitored by the application. However, the text isn't automatically sent to the clipboard manager.

You have to click the popup balloon message every time you want to save text, otherwise it will be ignored at the next copied clip. Worth noting is that the clipboard history app doesn't clear contents when storing a new record but creates a list instead. Unfortunately, the developer hasn't implemented an option to automatically store all clips without requiring your approval.

The tool only comes with several basic functions, like undo, redo, search and find. The composition can be customized only with font types and sizes.

The lack of other standard formatting features, such as color palette, bullet lists, paragraph alignment or hyperlink recognition leaves much to be desired. Bear in mind that the program only stores plain text and hyperlinks. It hasn't integrated features for storing images or file paths.

On an ending note, VistaNoteMSM is an approachable piece of software designed to offer a simple method to paste the text stored in the Windows clipboard into a document and save it as a TXT file. Despite its simple layout and quick paste mode, the lack of many basic features leaves a lot to be desired.
