Result of commands Print Preview and Copy to the Clipboard is shown in Figure below. The Print Preview command displays the content of the View Window on the screen as it would appear in printed formed, while the Copy to the Clipboard command copies the same content to a metafile (enhanced metafile, EMF, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile) in the Clipboard for subsequent pasting into other software packages, such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. Additional content of the metafile (in addition to the content in the View Window, such as the text of the legend) is defined using the Print Options window. The metafile contains the bitmap (the resolution of this bitmap (max 6000x6000 pixels) can be specified in the Print Option window) with the graphics displayed in the View Window and additional vector objects (e.g., texts and/or numbering).
