Shalom Belynda,

There is a quicker way to paste Word files into FM. After making the
following change you can just use Ctrl+V instead of pulling down the
menu and choosing Paste Special > … everytime.
Open the Maker.ini file in the FM folder and edit the following line
by moving TEXT to the highest priority as in my example then save and
reboot:
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP,
MIFW, MIF, RTF, UNICODE TEXT
If Unicode is important to you then you can move UNICODE TEXT to the
first position instead of TEXT.

Enjoy!

This would be all well and good except many of the graphics I'm using have little text boxes and arrows attached to them that are not part of the original graphic.
