From: gmark on 6 May 2008 03:56 I have problems cutting and pasting between Safari and MSword and Terminal. I thought that the clipboard on the Mac was always intended to be universal -- i. e., regardless of font or other characteristics, the text of the material would be copied. But no longer, apparently. Anyone have this experience? Or general rules for cutting and pasting between apps? Mark

But no longer, apparently. Never, actually. Each application has always been able to decide: a. What form of data goes onto the clipboard when you copy in that application b. What form of data on the clipboard is acceptable when you paste in that application > Anyone have this experience? Or general rules for cutting and pasting > between apps?

I always paste formatted text to a text editor, select/copy it before pasteing again. -- Richard aka TLizard Extremism in the defense of liberty is not vice, and moderation in defense of freedom is no virtue. |
