Copying and pasting information between environments
You can exchange certain kinds of information between the Mac OS and
Windows environments using the Copy and Paste commands in the Edit menu
in both environments. To do this, the PC Clipboard extension must be installed
in the Mac OS and the WINCLIP utility must be installed in Windows.
The PC Clipboard translates the following information formats:
m Windows CF_TEXT to/from Mac OS TEXT
m Windows RTF to/from Mac OS RTF
m Windows DIB to/from Mac OS PICT
To determine the format of material in the Mac OS, you can paste the
material into the Scrapbook. In Windows, the View menu in Clipbook Viewer
lists the formats that information may be converted to.
Note: Copying and pasting between DOS and Mac OS is not supported. If
you want to translate information between the DOS and Mac OS
environments, you can exchange files via a translation program.
When transferring information between the Mac OS and Windows, keep the
following in mind:
m If you have the PC Clipboard extension installed, the Mac OS and
Windows share a clipboard. That means if you copy an item to the Mac OS
Clipboard, switch to Windows, and then copy an item to the Windows
Clipboard, the original Mac OS Clipboard contents will be deleted.
To prevent this, you can remove the PC Clipboard extension from the
Extensions folder (inside the System Folder in the Mac OS). Removing the
extension turns off clipboard translation between Mac OS and Windows.
Note: If you remove the PC Clipboard extension, you will see an alert
message every time you switch from the PC to the Mac OS.
m If you are planning to transfer information from the Mac OS Clipboard
to Windows, make sure that Windows is running before you switch
environments.
