The Limitations of the Clipboard
Each built-in application has its own data structure, which places special limita-
tions on what and how much data can be copied and pasted: These limitations are:
¢ In the Filer and DataComm applications: The Clipboard is not available.
¢ Inthe Appointment Book: The Clipboard isn’t available in the World-Time,
Stopwatch, or Timer features, nor while you're looking at any Insert or Edit
screen, or at the Calendar view.
You may cut/copy any appointment (and attached note and alarm) from any
appointment view, but you may only paste into a daily view.
You may paste the text of an appointment (including its start time) into: a note
for another appointment; any file in the Memo Editor; a To-Do list; a 1-2-3 cell.
Pasting an appointment or To-Do item into an appointment slot doesn’t
overwrite anything already stored in that appointment slot; it simply creates
asimultaneous appointment. However, pasting any other kind of data from the
Clipboard into an appointment slot will overwrite whatever is already there.
Alarm information doesn’t transfer via the Clipboard, unless the appointment
is pasted back into an appointment slot.
¢ In the Phone Book: You can cut/copy only one whole record at a time
(everything stored on a card constitutes a record).
You can paste to other phone books, to the Memo Editor, and to the notes of
appointments or to-do lists (not to the items themselves).
You can paste to a 1-2-3 spreadsheet. This paste will produce a single column
of three cells, beginning with the target cell—one each for the Name field, the
Phone Number field, and the Address field.
You can paste the text of a single column of three 1-2-3 cells or the text of three
lines of a Memo Editor file (separated by [ENTER)s) into the Phone Book. Each
line or cell corresponds to one of the three Phone Book fields.
¢ In the Memo Editor: Anything you create in the Memo Editor can be cut/
copied to the Clipboard.
Anything that can be cut/copied to the Clipboard from other applications can
be pasted into the Memo Editor.
¢ In Lotus 1-2-3: To find the Clipboard functions, press and hold the key.
You'll see the (F2) and keys labelled [MEIZI¥ and |HEERXS. You can only copy
cells, not cut them.
