Please at least skim this documentation (printing it would be nice too :-). There are many useful features that would not be readily apparent otherwise, thank you.

ScrapIt Pro has won many awards in the last several years!
Text items or Sounds can also be created from within ScrapIt Pro. ScrapIt Pro has many uses, here’s a list of some ideas:
• Use it as a super note pad to store (and create) all those notes you can’t seem to keep track of.
• Use it to fill out and store frequently used forms (like invoices, contacts, expense reports, envelopes, etc.).
• Use it to store your favorite letterhead(s) for your letter writing.
• Store all your email.
• Store, sort and view all the GIF or JPEG files you collect from the internet.
• How about storing all your favorite sounds or QuickTime™ movies in a scrap file.
• Keep a clip-art library of all your favorite pictures for use in letters, page layout programs, etc.

Those uses are just a start. Write and tell me what ScrapIt Pro does for you.
