Is it possible to have multiple clip books open at the same time? If not, is it possible to combine 2 (or more) tcl files into a new one?
Thanks!

Not that I know. As nowhere mentioned it is impossible.

Yes. Open both files in Textpad you want to join. Open Textpads help
at the topic speaking abot TCL files inner format, read it...
Its fairly simple.
Create new file (to maintain the original ones as they were)
Copy first files data there, append second files data.
Rename your two TCL files extension to something other than TCL
as you possibly dont want to get duplicate data in clipbooks,
so by that you prevent appearing of those two you wanted to join.
Now you must write header for new file. Well take it from first file.
The important thing is to change the ID number of clipbook to some
number not on your system....
However its awkward, that this ID is integer and not a literal string.
That means when you use clipbooks from other contributors-authors,
you might get ID conflict as you already have used this ID number for
some other clipbook. Its easy to fix the situation although, but it is annoying
as it can be avoided.
Now save your newly create file with TCL extension into
%windir%Application Data\TextPad
directory and give refresh command by right clicking the clipbooks
seletor formelement (a context menu should pop up).
I guess I explained good enough, but I am sure some other ppl are
willing to explain in more detail if you dont get it...
