24 Proxy: Chapter 2
Copying to the Clipboard
You can easily copy any part of the host PC’s display to your local Windows
clipboard. You can then paste it into a document you are creating with another
Windows program.
Proxy has two commands for copying to the clipboard:
Š
Copy text
Š
Copy graphics
When the host PC is running a graphics-mode DOS program or Windows, your
only option is the
Copy graphics
command.
However, if the host PC is running a text-mode DOS program, you can copy its
screen in either text or graphics mode. Which you choose depends on how you’d
like to use the data:
Š
If you use Copy text , you will be able to paste whatever you copied
into a word processor as ordinary text. You will then be able to perform
text editing and formatting on it within the word processor.
Š
If you use Copy graphics , the area you designate is copied as a
bitmapped image, and you will be able to paste it into desktop publishing
programs as a graphic, retaining the exact look that it had in the Proxy
window.
To copy a part of the host PC’s screen to the clipboard:
1 Select Copy text or Copy graphics from the Proxy menu. The mouse
cursor will change shape to indicate “copy” mode.
2 Position the cursor at one of the corners of the rectangle that you’d like
to copy, and press the left mouse button.
3 Drag the cursor, highlighting the entire rectangle you’d like to copy.
4 Release the mouse button. The rectangle you highlighted will be copied
to the clipboard.
