You are running two applications on your computer. You highlight some text in a word document and initiate the copy command. You then go to paste the text into a publisher document. Where is the text temporarily stored after it is copied?
They used to call that area of computer memory the "clipboard". I am not sure what they call it now.
After the text is copied in the Word document, it is temporarily stored in an area of computer memory known as the clipboard. The clipboard serves as a temporary storage location for data that is being copied or cut from one application or document and then pasted into another. It allows you to temporarily hold the data that you have copied or cut, so that you can later paste it into a different location or document.
