User manual

You can copy up to 1MB of text, including any Unicode non-ASCII characters. You can copy text from your
client system to a remote desktop or application, or the reverse, but the pasted text is plain text.
You cannot copy and paste graphics. You also cannot copy and paste les between a remote desktop and the
le system on your client computer.
N The copy and paste feature is not supported on iOS Safari.
Use the Copy and Paste Feature
To copy and paste text, you must use the Copy & Paste buon located at the top of the sidebar.
This procedure describes how to use the Copy & Paste window to copy text from your local client system to
a remote application or how to copy text from a remote application to your local client system. If, however,
you are copying and pasting text between remote applications and desktops, you can simply copy and paste
as you normally would, and there is no need to use the Copy & Paste window.
The Copy & Paste window, which you can open from the buon at the top of the HTML Access sidebar, is
required only for synchronizing the Clipboard on your local system with the Clipboard in the remote
machine.
The text in the Copy & Paste window displays one of the following messages to indicate in which direction
the user can copy and paste content.
