This really should make it into the Frequently Asked Questions file.

You can paste clipboard contents larger than the screen by first
zooming out in Paintbrush (so you see you full page), then pasting
(you will see a hatched rectangle only, which you can move until
it fits), then clicking outside the rectangle (now you see the
real picture) and then zoomin back in.
