About ten years ago I found a clipboard program that had ten different clipboards to choose from when you copied and pasted. Is there a good similar progam currently available to do this?

The more recent versions of MS Office have this feature built in - might be worthwhile upgrading if you are already an MS Office user. Personally, I hate it and immediately disable it.

Try Clipboard Magic. It’s freeware and has a very good rep.
