In this tutorial, I will be selecting an image from one of the folders that I saved on the desktop screen for illustration purposes but in your computer, you can select files or even folders if you wish.Īs you can see, right after I selected an item from a folder’s contents, all of the options under “Clipboard” on File Explorer’s ribbon suddenly became clickable. After doing so, you will need to open the folder or library which contains the picture or file that you would like to copy. To open File Explorer, all you need to do is click on the thumbnail once and wait until the Window opens. In your brand new Windows 8.1machine, you should be able to see the File Explorer thumbnail pinned on the taskbar. To get familiar with how it works while you are in File Explorer, you will first need to open the File Explorer Window itself then open a certain library or folder that contains some images or other files in it which you can copy. The Clipboard options not only appears in the ribbon of some desktop programs but even in File Explorer as well and it works very much the same when you used it inside an app. If you don’t want the dimensions of the image to be affected when making it smaller or bigger, just use the small boxes at the corners instead of the ones that lie at the center of each edge and drag it inward to make the image smaller or outward to make it larger. When the mouse pointer turns into an arrow, that’s the time that you can click and hold on it and drag it to the direction where you’d like to extend the image into. To do this, simply put the mouse pointer on any of the small squares that lie on the edges and corners of the image whenever you select it. You can make the image that you posted on WordPad become bigger or smaller. If you click on the “Cut” option, the picture will be taken out and disappear from the main input screen while the “Copy” option will just copy it ready to be pasted into another desktop program like Microsoft Word or just in WordPad alone but on a different part of the input screen. Now, try to click on the picture that you have just pasted so it will be selected and after doing so, you will notice that the “Cut”and “Copy” options will become clickable. Now, you need to make sure that the cursor is in the right position where you want to put the image on before clicking on the “Paste” option.Īfter placing the cursor into the proper location, you can now click on “Paste”, you will notice that the picture which you copied will now be on the main input screen of the WordPad Window. Once the subject item is copied, you can head back to the WordPad Window and you will notice that the “Paste”option will now be clickable as shown on the screenshot below. Copying items from different locations is simply done by first selecting the subject done by clicking on it and afterwards, you can either press the “Ctrl+C” keys or right-click on the subject to be copied and hit the “Copy” option from the right-click menu that appears. To use this section, try to copy a picture from your computer’s Pictureslibrary. Below the box, you should see the search results and if you are done typing WordPad, the Wordpad shortcut should be the only item that will appear and nothing else.Īfter clicking on the shortcut, the WordPaddesktop app should now open on a Window and on the top portion of it, you should be able to see the ribbon-based options which contain the “Clipboard” group. After doing so, you should be able to see the Search screen which contains a search input box and the name of the app that you typed on the keyboard should already appear in it. Try to open WordPad in your Windows 8.1 machine by clicking on the Start Button and typing the name of the app (WordPad) on your computer’s keyboard. One place where you can definitely find the “Clipboard” option is in the WordPad desktop app’s ribbon. Whatever is it that you want to do, getting a good grip with the options that are available in the Clipboard would prove to be of great use and if you’d like to find out some other details about it and also know where it appears on your Windows 8.1 machine then this tutorial will surely be of great help. Just like the actual clipboard that you use in the office or in school in the case of students, it temporarily holds anything that you decide to pick from any location of the operating system such as pictures, texts and some other types of files that you want to transfer from its original place to another location maybe because you’re trying to organize some stuff or just getting everything transferred so you can start cleaning your machine’s memory from useless files like the ones that you can find in the Downloads folder. One of the options that you will find on the ribbon of most desktop programs which are capable of editing documents and pictures is called the “Clipboard”.
