Pasting an image or text from the operating system clipboard

You can paste an image or text that you have copied from another application to the operating system clipboard. For example, when previewing an image in the Windows Live Gallery, you can right-click and select Copy and then paste it as a new image in the Publisher.

To paste an image from the file system (Windows Explorer, for example), you must drag and drop the image from the file system into the Publisher. For details, see Dragging and dropping an object.

To paste an image or text from the operating system clipboard, follow these steps:

  1. From outside of the Publisher, copy the image or text to the operating system clipboard. (In most cases, this involves right-clicking and selecting Copy.)

  2. From within the Project Manager, select the location where you want to add the object.

  3. On the Home ribbon, click Paste OSC in the Clipboard group. Next, type the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (or Cmd + V for Mac).

The image or text is added to the project.
