[Papyrus-L] Re: Papyrus-L digest, Vol 1 #27 - 1 msg

Hi Pat,

I was the last one to suffer this malady. The remedy is to only use Papyrus
in full screen mode, toggling back and forth using Alt-Tab.

You'll also find that you can't place citations on the clipboard. You have
to go into Preferences > OS/2, NT Clipboard and give the path for a file to
save citations to. There is a patch available from the website of Mark
Thissen, but I couldn't get it work. I just created a short macro to paste
it into the document and it works tolerably well. The real pain in the ass
is that you cannot easily paste things into Papyrus. I have a nice little
Siemens pen scanner and like to scan quotes from texts into notecards, but
they have to go via this file that I created, which ain't easy.

Let's hope that Papyrus catches upon with W2000 soon!

Cheers,

Professor P.A.J. Waddington,
University of Reading,
England.
