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.

Prerequisites
If you are using a Mac, verify that you have enabled the seing for mapping the Command key to the
Windows Ctrl key when using the key combinations to select, copy, and paste text. Click the Open 
Window toolbar buon in the sidebar and turn on Enable Command-A, Command-C, Command-V, and

The View administrator must either leave the default policy in eect, which allows users to copy from client
systems and paste into their remote desktops and applications, or else the administrator must congure
another policy that allows copying and pasting. For more information, see “HTML Access Group Policy
