Paste The Paste menu item allows you to put a copy of the contents of the clipboard onto the canvas. Paint can paste graphic images, but it cannot paste text. To paste a copy of an image on your canvas, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Paint puts a copy of the image on the canvas, leaving it selected. A copy of the image remains in the clipboard for later use. To move the image, position the pointer inside the selected area and drag the image to the location of your choice. To cancel the selection, click in another part of the window or select another tool. Additional topics: * Using Menus and Controls * Edit Menu * Overview of Paint
