To use Copy Options 1 Select the items to copy and choose Edit > Copy Special > Copy Options. 2 Select options (described next) in the dialog box. 3 Click OK and Canvas will copy the selection to the Clipboard. Configuring copy options In the Copy Options dialog box, you can select a program or config- ure the options yourself. Preset For    Choose a program name. This sets up the dialog box so objects will be copied in the best format for pasting into the selected program. If the program you want to use is not listed, you can use the other options to select the format for copying objects to the Clipboard. Copy vector object(s)    Uses the standard format to copy objects to the clipboard in Mac OS (PICT) and Windows (WMF). In most cases, this option is the same as using the standard Copy command. PICT and WMF do not support transparency; transparent Canvas objects are not rendered and will appear opaque when pasted into other programs. Copy as Image    Copies objects to the Clipboard as rasterized images. Select a resolution option, or select Other and enter the desired resolution. This option preserves transparency effects among Canvas objects. However, most programs do not support transpar- ency, so Canvas objects pasted into other programs will not appear transparent relative to objects in the other programs. Anti-Alias    Softens the edges of objects copied to the Clipboard using anti-aliasing. Anti-Alias is available when you select Copy as Image. Anti-aliasing slightly blurs objects to reduce the jagged appearance of object edges. Embed Canvas native data (Mac only)    Embeds unique Canvas data in objects. This ensures that objects keep their Canvas properties if they’re pasted into another program and then pasted back into Can- vas. Embed EPS (Mac only)    Copies objects to the Clipboard with Post- Script information. •   Color Mode: Select the color mode to be used in the Post- Script information.
