Re: Xy to Word

[Jay McNally jmcnally@xxxxxxxx]

I am using a windows platform and using XyWrite for my basic writing/editing.
I have to cut and past text all the time from email, Word documents and
from the Internet.

How can I paste in copy into XyWrite from the Windows clipboard without
having to use alt+enter to switch to windows mode, then use a mouse on the
XyWrite Icon. I'd love to be able to do it with a keystroke.

Also, is there a way in Windows/Word to get more than one clipboard?... In
XyWrite I copy text to multiple savegets all the time.


Thanks for any advice.
