[Papyrus-L] more on XP - troubleshooting clipboard/Word

[John Rodgers]

re. problem citing to the clipboard when using Word.  If I save the Word 
document after an insert file, then I can update the papref.txt from 
Papyrus.  It seems that Word may be holding on to the inserted file for 
purposes of tracking changes, so you can undo.
I haven't figured out how to turn off UNDO to confirm this.

However, here is what worked for me:
have Pap write to a diskfile such as c:\papref.txt

write a macro that
insert
file
c:\papref.txt
save
I''ve assigned that hot key - the paste citation is as quick as using the 
clipboard it seems! yay!  I imagine for large documents this will seem 
slower due to the constant saves.
