I just briefly tested Nisus Writer 4.06, Tex-Edit Plus 1.2, First Class Client 2.6 and EndNote 2.0 for their ability to transfer and receive formatted text from one another. The two winners are Tex-Edit and First Class Client, which successfully transferred text formatted bold, italic, green or red between one another. Second place goes to EndNote, which was able to receive from Tex-Edit or First Class italic, bold or red but (strangely enough) not green formatting. Text formatted bold or italic within EndNote transferred successfully to Tex-Edit or First Class. It seems EndNote has no provision for choosing the color of its text, which may have something to do with its inability to recognize green formatting. Unfortunately, Nisus Writer finished in dead last place. All bold, italic, red or green formatting copied from Tex-Edit, EndNote or First Class was completely lost on pasting into Nisus Writer. All bold, italic, red or green formatting copied from Nisus Writer was completely lost on pasting into Tex-Edit, EndNote or First Class. It seems clear that NW4 is not using Styled text when it exports or imports the clipboard, at least not in what appears to be a standard format. Tom Ritch
