Win Copy between windows - technical definition

In all versions of Windows, you can easily copy or move text and graphics from one window to another by selecting from the Edit menu. When you use the copy functions (copy and paste) or the move functions (cut and paste), you are using the Windows clipboard as an intermediate storage location.
