To copy the entire picture to another program:
1. | Press Ctrl+A or Select, All to select all the objects. Note: You can also copy the entire picture by deselecting all objects with Ctrl+Shift+A, or Select, None or clicking the Selection tool in an empty area of the picture. |
2. | Press the Copy button ![]() |
3. | Switch to the other program. |
4. | Position your cursor in the other document if necessary. |
5. | Select Edit, Paste or press Ctrl+V to paste the picture. |
Note: Some very simple programs (such as Windows Notepad) do not support pasting metafiles from the Clipboard, so they will not work as described above.
Note: If the program you are pasting to supports OLE, it will probably paste the picture as an embedded OLE object. Then you can double-click on the picture to edit it directly from the other application.
