I cannot copy and paste between my Macintosh and Windows-based computers.
- Remote Desktop Connection supports copy and paste of only plain text, Rich Text
Format (RTF) text, and Unicode text. Make sure you are working with
information that is in one of these formats, or try pasting the information
you want into a Word document, and then copy and paste it from there into an
application on the other computer.
- Some characters, such as certain symbol characters, may not paste correctly
when pasting text between Office programs for Windows and Office programs
for Mac. Try pasting the text from the Windows-based computer into TextEdit
on your Macintosh computer, and then copy and paste from TextEdit into the
Office program you want.
- Copy and paste of text between computers is not available when you are connecting to a
computer running Windows NT 4.0 or earlier.
- Depending on the policies of your network and the version of Windows that is running on the
computer you are connected to, copy and paste might not work because clipboard sharing
might be restricted. For more information about network policies, see Windows Server Help.
