*1: Vector data is a data format that represents shapes as a set of reference points and the lines that connect them. Most draw-type
software applications can be used to create vector-data shapes.
*2: The clipboard is used to hold data temporarily when it is being copied or cut. The clipboard is a standard feature of Windows 95.
*3: Bitmap data is a data format that represents shapes as a collection of dots. Most paint-type software applications show Shapes as
bitmaps.
