Hi
I have been trying to find a suitable program to use on my Mac to replace Microsoft Publisher.
Am trying Pages but can't find a clipboard to copy to and paste from.
Any help would be kindly received.
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I think you are talking about a surrounding pasteboard area to the page, like in PageMaker, QuarkXpress and Indesign.
Swift Publisher has this as do a few other cheap DTP apps. Pages does not, at least not a visible one.
You can move things off pages but they become invisible and you have to know they are there to fish them off again.

All Applications on OS X use the system clipboard. The standard for most applications is on the edit menu where you will find copy, paste, and paste and match style. The keyboard shortcuts are there too.
Pages (any version) is not a true Desktop Publishing application and will not replace MS Publisher. I would recommend Swift Publisher 3 in the App Store, or possibly iStudio Publisher. Both are reasonably priced.
If you need to open .pub files on the Mac, I suggest you download the lastest free copy of LibreOffice, which will open any Publisher file ever created. It won't be perfect, but sufficient to see your layout.
Is there a 'clipboard' in pages prog please
