How Do I?


Using the Paste Special Command

Edit Menu



Paste Special

Paste Special will allow you more control over the format you want to use when inserting content that has been copied onto the Windows Clipboard. Paste Special should be used (instead of Paste) when you have copied multimedia content (such as graphics and text) onto the Windows Clipboard. This command offers you the possible formats the information can be inserted into the question.

For example, a drawing and text are selected (from an outside drawing application) and copied onto the Windows Clipboard. Since we want both the drawing and text to be pasted into the question, we choose "Paste Special" from the Edit menu. In this instance, we are given three options of how to insert the Clipboard information:



Note: If either Picture or DIB Bitmap were chosen in this example, the drawing and text would be inserted into the LXR*TEST question as an inline formatted graphic.
