Hi everybody

 I love the way the Bible versus can be copied by using copy Bible toolbar Can somebody tell me how to copy some text from a resource like a dictionary or encyclopaedia and then paste into WordPerfect If I right click on the text in the resource I can copy one word for instance "Antimodernist" I would like to copy a small section of highlighted text to WordPerfect is there an option for this

    when it comes to copying anything in a windows program...if all else fails, CTL + C will probably do it. It's actually the only way I copy and paste. CTL + c to copy, CTL + V to paste.

    Hi

    I tried your suggestion it will only copy one line

    Could you try and paste some text from a dictionary or encyclopaedia to see if you have the same problem

    I'm wondering if this is a bug

    I expected to select the text I want to copy right click and choose the menu copy

    I'm wondering if this is a feature that's been forgotten about

    okay I've tried another way of  copying text from a resource it a bit long winded, I select the text in the resource ,    right click to bring up the menu

     I have an existing note file which shows up in this menu "add a note to"  after this I open up the note and copy the text then I can paste it in WordPerfect [:O]

    I tried this with Word and had no problem with the CTL shortcuts. Maybe its a Wordperfect thing.

    MIchael,

    The first section on the right click context menu for any resource is "Selection" this allows whatever is selected to be copied.

    Hi

    I have tried your suggestion, when I paste in WordPerfect only one line of text appears

    I found out what was causing the problem in WordPerfect I needed to paste as unformatted text

    Thanks for your help

    Problem solved

    Are you sure the problem wasn't with the "Perfect" part?
