Clipboard operations allow you to copy content from one place or document and paste it into a different location or document.
Note: Because of web browser security restrictions the clipboard operations built into the editor will simply display a message telling how to use the browsers native hot keys to complete the operation. In the future there will be a browser plugin for supported browsers to resolve this issue.
Note: When pasting text from an external program like Microsoft Word, any formatting will be lost. This is because of incompatibilities between these programs and most web browsers.
There are three clipboard operations.

- currently displays a dialog box explaining how to do a copy operation.
Ctrl-C on the PC and Command-C on the Mac will place the currently selected text into the clipboard.

- Paste - will place the text that is currently in clipboard into the page at the location of the cursor.
