About Clipboard Preferences

You can automatically send addresses, address barcodes, or both to the Clipboard for use in other applications, including US domestic delivery address verification through Dial-A-ZIP.

When you use Dial-A-ZIP, you can automatically send the results data to the Clipboard that you can paste into another application. You can choose to always copy to the Clipboard the address, the address barcode, or both.

• Important! If you select both the Always copy address to Clipboard and the Always copy barcode to Clipboard check boxes, both the address and the barcode will be in the Clipboard. However, because most applications paste only one of the two items in the Clipboard, it may be more straightforward to select only one of the check boxes for automatic copying and use the Edit > Copy Barcode menu command to copy the barcode when desired.

Choices in the Sending to Clipboard area include:

• Always copy address to Clipboard: The Always copy address to Clipboard option automatically copies all Dial-A-ZIP address results to the Clipboard so that you can paste the results into another application. For example, if you are writing a letter and want to verify the US domestic delivery address in the letter with Dial-A-ZIP:
  1. Copy the address to the Clipboard.
  2. Open DAZzle to run Dial-A-ZIP.

  3. Switch to your word processor.

     When the Dial-A-ZIP is done, you can paste the corrected address back to your letter by using the Paste command.

• Always copy barcode to Clipboard: The Always copy barcode to Clipboard option automatically copies the address barcode for the current address to the Clipboard each time you enter a new address (or obtained from the Clipboard). After the barcode is in the Clipboard, you can paste the barcode into another application that supports images. This choice automates the Edit > Copy Barcode command.

You can automatically paste, print, reformat, and run Dial-A-ZIP on US domestic delivery addresses from the Clipboard. You can optionally let DAZzle monitor the Clipboard to automatically paste, print, and run Dial-A-ZIP on addresses from the Clipboard. You can also choose to automatically reformat addresses that have the ZIP Code on a separate line.

Choices in the Monitoring Clipboard area include:

• Monitor Clipboard for Addresses: The Monitor Clipboard for Addresseses option automatically pastes addresses from the Clipboard onto the DAZzle Design tab as the delivery address of the mailpiece. This is a popular way to move an address from other applications into DAZzle. See also Guidelines: Using Addresses from the Clipboard. When you choose to monitor the Clipboard for addresses, you can optionally select one of the following options:
  • Always print after paste: The Always print after paste option causes DAZzle to automatically print an envelope, label, or flyer (using your current layout) when an address is copied to the Clipboard.
  • Always run Dial-A-ZIP after paste: The Always run Dial-A-ZIP after paste option causes DAZzle to automatically run the Dial-A-ZIP whenever DAZzle obtains a new US domestic delivery address from the Clipboard. This option automates address verification.
• Reformat address after paste: Some applications (for example, Lotus Organizer) place the ZIP Code as a separate last line when copying to the Clipboard. If you have an application that does this, select the Reformat address after paste check box to have DAZzle automatically reformat the address for proper display.
