User manual

Data that you copy to the clipboard is automatically copied to the clipboard on the remote desktop when
you log in to the remote desktop. If you are logged in to a remote desktop, data that you copy to the
clipboard on the remote desktop is automatically copied to the clipboard on your iOS device. If RTF data
contains images, the images are lost when Horizon Client synchronizes the RTF data in the clipboard on the
remote desktop with the data in the clipboard on your iOS device.
Horizon administrators congure the ability to copy and paste by conguring group policy seings that
pertain to Horizon Agent. Depending on the Horizon server and agent version, administrators might also be
able to use group policies to restrict clipboard formats during copy and paste operations or use Smart
Policies to control copy and paste behavior in remote desktops. For information, see the Conguring Remote
Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
The clipboard can accommodate a maximum of 1 MB of data for copy and paste operations. If the text and
RTF data together use less than maximum clipboard size, the formaed text is pasted. Often the RTF data
cannot be truncated, so that if the text and formaing use more than the maximum clipboard size amount,
the RTF data is discarded, and plain text is pasted. If you are unable to paste all of the formaed text you
selected in one operation, you might need to copy and paste smaller amounts in each operation.
Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Administrators can use an ADMX template le to set a group policy that species where documents are
saved. This policy is called Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory. For more information, see
the Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
Configure Horizon Client to Support Reversed Mouse Buttons
You can use the Left Handed Mode option if the primary and secondary mouse buons are switched in
your remote desktop.
If you set the mouse properties inside your remote desktop so that the primary mouse buon is the one on
the right side, as many left-handed people do, you must turn on the Left Handed Mode option in
Horizon Client. If you do not turn on this option when mouse buons are reversed, a single tap acts as a
click of the secondary mouse buon. For example, a single tap might display a context menu rather than
selecting something or inserting a cursor.
