Figure 6-29 Cutting and pasting between Remote and Local Computers Remote Clipboard filtering When a cut is performed, applications typically store their data in the clipboard in multiple formats. For a word processing application, the application might store data in the clipboard as both ASCII text and Rich Text Format. This increases the likelihood that, when the paste occurs, there will be a format recognized by the receiving application. For example, when a cut is performed within Microsoft Word, one of the clipboard formats supported by Word is ASCII text. This allows a paste into, for example, Microsoft Notepad, which accepts ASCII text. Some data formats, like HTML, may present problems when pasted into a remote computer. HTML, for example, does not store images in the clipboard, but instead stores links to where the images reside (on the local computer). When the HTML is pasted into the remote computer, the pasted links will no longer point to a valid location. There are other potential problems, such as links to websites. Consider the act of cutting and pasting from Microsoft Excel on a local computer to Excel on a remote computer. When pasted on the remote computer, Excel clipboard data that contains links will attempt to access websites referenced by the links. If the remote computer is not connected to the Internet, Excel may hang trying to access the websites. To provide the ability to handle such problems, Remote Clipboard implements user-settable filtering to allow control of which clipboard formats can be used in cut and paste operations. Filtering of clipboard formats is performed on the computer receiving the cut and paste data. See Figure 6-30 Receiving-side Remote Clipboard operation 153

Remote Clipboard filtering
When a cut is performed, applications typically store their data in the clipboard in multiple formats. For
a word processing application, the application might store data in the clipboard as both ASCII text and
Rich Text Format. This increases the likelihood that, when the paste occurs, there will be a format
recognized by the receiving application. For example, when a cut is performed within Microsoft Word,
one of the clipboard formats supported by Word is ASCII text. This allows a paste into, for example,
Microsoft Notepad, which accepts ASCII text.
Some data formats, like HTML, may present problems when pasted into a remote computer. HTML, for
example, does not store images in the clipboard, but instead stores
links
to where the images reside (on
the local computer). When the HTML is pasted into the remote computer, the pasted links will no longer
point to a valid location.
There are other potential problems, such as links to websites. Consider the act of cutting and pasting
from Microsoft Excel on a local computer to Excel on a remote computer. When pasted on the remote
computer, Excel clipboard data that contains links will attempt to access websites referenced by the
links. If the remote computer is not connected to the Internet, Excel may hang trying to access the
websites.
To provide the ability to handle such problems, Remote Clipboard implements user-settable filtering to
allow control of which clipboard formats can be used in cut and paste operations. Filtering of clipboard
formats is performed on the computer
receiving
the cut and paste data. See
