Better late than never?  I found this app called 'Send To Notepad' about a year ago I think.  Just sits in your tray, and if you click it's icon a new notepad window opens and your clipboard goes in.

The link is http://www.utkarshonline.com

It can be quircky, needing a 'rt-click copy' here, an Edit>Copy from the menu bar there, a Ctrl-C, every where a Ctrl-C...oh McDonald had a....oh sorry...

I use it enough to justify keeping it in startup.  Can't for the life of me remember where I found it, maybe a direct web search.  I lost something a paragraph long I'd typed in a form online, and I was looking for clipboard monitors.  I finally settled on Clipp found at www.geocities.com/urifrid which I just wrote the author of to see if he'll put it back on his website.  Otherwise, I have a copy of the executable somewhere if someone wants to tell me where to host it.  My websites don't seem to like off-subject things like downloads.

Hope it helps.

Recently I wrote a small hotkey app for the purpose of snapping up pieces of source code from web forums.  But it can easily be used with text.  It's called SourceSnap and you can download from this page:

http://www.favessoft.com/hotkeys.html

When running in the tray, highlight some text, hit the hotkey.  A file save dialog pops up and you name the file.  Another hotkey edits the last saved file in the default editor for the file type.  Alternatively, there's an additional hotkey to save paragraphs to a "snap file."

Should work on Windows XP and later.

The hotkeys are adjustable from drop down dialogs and you can change the name of the snap file(a file for collecting fragments or paragraphs that don't rate saving to a distinct file.)
