Figure 3.38. Clipboard after execution of the Cut command
We can again delete the phras e, "confusion regarding the
observance of", using Clear. Before doing so, l et's first e mpty
the Clipboard. Notice from figure 3.39, that the insertion point
is at the end of the text, and no text is selected. Rememb er from
our definition of Cut that execution of that command causes
the selected text to replace th e existing C lipboard contents.
Since no text is currently selected, by executing Cut when the
Desktop resembles that shown in figure 3.39, th e Clipboard
should be cleared. This procedure is depict ed in figure 3.40.
Now, Jet's remove the phrase , "confu sion regarding the
ob servance of", without placing a copy on the Clipboard by
selecting
that text and executing the Clear command.
The Desktop will again appear as shown in figure 3.37
after Cl ear has been executed. By executing the Show Clip-
board command, you can verify that the deleted phra se was
not copied to the Clipboard.
