A Horizon administrator can use group policies to restrict clipboard formats during copy and paste
operations. The clipboard format lter policies for Microsoft Oce Chart and Smart Art data and
Microsoft Text Eects data are not supported. For information about clipboard format lter policies, see
the Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document. Using Smart Policies to control copy and
paste behavior in remote desktops is not supported.
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.
A Horizon administrator can use the RDS Proles group policy seing called Set Remote Desktop Services
User Home Directory to specify where documents are saved. For more information, see the Conguring
Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
Screen Resolutions and Using External Displays
You can use Horizon Client with external displays and you can change screen resolutions.
When you connect a client device to an external display or projector, Horizon Client supports certain
maximum display resolutions. You can change the screen resolution used on the client device to allow
scrolling a larger screen resolution.
Enlarging the Screen Resolution for a Remote Desktop
By default, the display resolution is set so that the entire Windows desktop ts inside the client device, and
the desktop icons and task bar icons are a certain size. If you change the default to a higher resolution, the
desktop still ts inside the client device, but the desktop and taskbar icons become smaller.
You can pinch your ngers apart to zoom in and make the desktop larger than the device screen. You can
then tap and drag to access the edges of the desktop.
Changing the Display Resolution Setting
You can use the Resolution seing to set the display resolution to a larger value. If you are using a remote
desktop or application in full-screen mode, tap the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon, tap the gear icon,
tap Display, and tap Resolution. If you are not using full-screen mode,  is in the menu in the upper-
right corner of the Horizon Client toolbar. If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, tap
the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Horizon Client window.
Using High Quality Mode
You can use the High Quality Mode feature to obtain the best display quality in remote desktops and
applications.
To enable High Quality Mode, before you connect to a remote desktop or application, tap the gear icon in
the upper right corner of the Horizon Client window, tap Display, and then tap High Quality Mode. You
cannot enable the High Quality Mode seing after you connect to a remote desktop or application.
