System: Mac Plus 2.5mb. multifinder. suitcase,quickkeys,pyro. Here is exactly what I did: make screen dump. edit screen dump in macpaint. paste resulting image into word4.0. edit etc. copy image to clipboard. open macpaint and paste the image in. *macpaint unexpectedly quits!* I stupidly paste into smartscrap. *smartscrap will not open anymore* Does anyone know why Word corrupts the clipboard so badly that 2 apps DIE when trying to read from it? #miniflame on# I can understand that Word isnt smart enough to allow consistent fonts ids between my 2 machines, but cant they even do something as simple as cut and paste properly? I have never had this sort of bug in *any* mac application! #miniflame off# PS. does anyone know how to restore a currupted smartscrap file? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Interrante Software Engineering Research Center mfi@beach.cis.ufl.edu CIS Department, University of Florida 32611 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
