+Selected association is used as a template where selected player is replaced with topics found in the system clipboard. System clipboard text is interpreted as a set of base names delimited by tab and new-line characters. Number of created associations is equal to the number of topics found in system clipboard text. If system clipboard text doesn't match any topic in Wandora, Wandora asks whether or not the user wants to create a topic for the base name.
 This method resembles closely the method described below.

-Addition to association editors described in previous chapters Wandora also allows the user to inject or paste association via clipboard. Clipboard injection allows you to construct associations in external applications such as text editor. Association paste is started by right mouse clicking the '''Associations''' title and by selecting a menu option '''Paste > Paste associations...''' found in the context menu.

 As you may paste any kind of associations you may not see created associations immediately after paste as topic panel views only such associations that contain opened topic as a player or association type. To see created association use finder to locate and open player topic for example.

 * Use Wandora's drag and drop feature to create associations. This option is for Wandora experts. To create associations with drag and drop, you create and select template association, and drop player topics over the template.
 * Draw associations between graph nodes representing topics. This alternative uses schemaless association editor but initializes the editor with topics user has drawn an association between in [[Graph topic panel]].
 Next chapters examine association creation alternatives more detailed.
