Re: copying and pasting

One more way to download e-mail, windows, etc. into XyWrite from
a fellow-ghost and writer of my own books: have the originator of
the material e-mail you the raw copy as an attachment, preferably
in "text" format, but Word for Windows 2 to 5 also works for me.
Shorter passages can come straight on e-mail. I have received
(and sent) attachments as long as 10,000 to 20,000 words.
  Download the material as text onto a 3 1/2" floppy via MS
Word. It will then be stored in Xywrite text (XY 3+ for me) on
the disc, and you can transfer it at will, as I do, to be
integrated, edited, etc. To send the edited portions back, or on
to the publisher, simply reverse the process: from text to Word 2
to 5, or whatever.
