Clipboard

All selection scopes support transfer to the clipboard.

Support clipboard transfer in any selection scope in which the current selection can be deleted or cut.

If a control supports text entry or any form of data transfer into the control, it supports Paste.

The source of a Copy, Copy Link, Copy Special, or Cut operation are the selected elements of the control for which the operation was invoked.

The target of a Copy, Copy Link, Copy Special, or Cut operation is the clipboard.

Cut is a move operation, Copy is a copy operation, Copy Link is a link operation. Copy Special results in either a copy or link operation, depending on the format chosen in the dialog.

If Paste or Paste Special transfers a data format, it is a copy operation whose source is the clipboard.

If Paste, Paste Special, or Paste Link transfers a link format, it is a link operation whose source is that of the operation that placed the link on the clipboard.

The target of Paste, Paste Link, or Paste Special is the control for which the action was invoked.

Do not make any Paste choices available when no data is in the clipboard or when the data cannot be pasted.

If you provide Paste Special, do not provide Paste Link (the equivalent functionality is available via the Paste Special Dialog).

If you provide Copy Special, do not provide Copy Link (the equivalent functionality is available via the Copy Special Dialog).
