How do I copy information between applications?

For Windows and X applications, use the normal method for the application you are copying from, and then the usual method for the application you are pasting to. You may not be allowed to copy and paste information from particular applications. This is configured by your Secure Global Desktop Administrator. If you are not allowed to copy and paste between an application, you will paste the following message instead of the information you copied:
Sun Secure Global Desktop Software: Copied data not available to this application

For character applications, click with the right mouse button, and then click Copy or Paste as appropriate. To select a column of text, hold down the Shift key while selecting the text.

You can copy information between different types of application, for example from an xterm running on an application server to a text editor running on your client device.

You can only copy and paste graphics to or from Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 applications. If you are using the classic webtop, you can only do this if you're using the Native Client for Microsoft Windows.
