What type of data can be copy/pasted using the shared clipboard?
Input Director recognises most common data formats that are copied to the clipboard including text, csv, and bitmaps (jpeg, gif, etc). When an application, such as Microsoft Word, copies data to the clipboard, it will put onto the clipboard the range of types of data formats that it can supply that particular bit of data in. So, if you copy a section of a word document onto the clipboard, Word will register that this data is available as text, as rich text format, as well as several internal formats. Input Director will offer to other systems (slaves/masters) those formats it supports. Most of the time, this is fairly seamless, but there are times when the information pasted ends up in a different format. For example, if the word document had a Visio object embedded in it, then the transformed pasted version may have the visio object as a bitmap.
