Using the Windows Clipboard

Time Line for Windows uses the Copy Picture command on the Edit menu to transfer graphic images between Windows applications and the Clipboard. Both a bitmap and a metafile are placed in the Windows clipboard. The application into which the graphic image is "pasted" reads one of the two formats. Due to metafile format inconsistencies within many Windows applications, the bitmap format is recommended for the best results. Additionally, some Windows applications do not pick the correct format when pasting. To correct this problem and OMIT the metafile format, add the following line to the TLWIN.INI file:

CopyMetafile=0

If for some reason you need Time Line for Windows to OMIT the bitmap format and only store the metafile copy to the Clipboard, the following line must be added to the TLWIN.INI file located in your Time Line for Windows subdirectory:

CopyBitmap=0
