The Copy Clipboard Text to Variable action will paste the text contents of the Windows clipboard to a specified variable in Opus.
Note:
You can copy text from any software application into an Opus variable. If the clipboard includes other information apart from text, such as pictures, these will not be pasted into the variable. The variable will contain plain text only. In other words, if the copied text is formatted (e.g. bold, underlined etc.) the formatting is lost when copied to the variable.

1. Add the Copy Clipboard Text to Variable action to your trigger, as described in adding actions. The Copy Clipboard Text to Variable tab will automatically appear when you add the action.

Once you have created your new variable, its name will appear in the Variable option in this action.
4. Click on the Apply button to save your changes.
The specified variable does not have to be displayed on the screen in order to copy its contents to the clipboard. Furthermore, if the variable is a system or publication variable then it does not even have to be on the same page that contains this action.
