Clipboard¶

	Edit menu > Cut
	`Ctrl` + `X`

Absolute paste¶

Image to clipboard¶

	Edit toolar

This function is used to copy the screen content to the Windows clipboard. The content of the clipboard can be transferred to other applications using Edit > Paste or Ctrl + V .

image-to-clipboard

A settings dialog window appears for the IMAGE TO CLIPBOARD function. This allows you to control the quality. For a transfer to MS Word, the scaling can be increased to 300 % or even 600 % if high quality is required. Depending on the scaling, however, this may take up 100 MB or more of memory.
Compatibility mode is required to generate the clipboard for programs that have restrictions. If this mode is switched off, the entire image section is saved to the clipboard. If the mode is switched on, Windows only calculates the used part. Whether the line width should be used is defined in the colour properties dialog window (SETTINGS menu > COLOUR PROPERTIES).
