[Papyrus-L] Importing information into Papyrus

[Raisa Deber]

>
This is probably blindingly obvious, but I just discovered that  
transfers from the clipboard can indeed be two ways.  I'd had no  
problems pasting TO the clipboard to cite in manuscripts, but hadn't  
realized you could also paste FROM the clipboard to Papyrus. So, for  
any of you wanting to import a bit of text into a Papyrus entry, just  
open Notepad, paste the text in (e.g., a title, an abstract), and  
then save as whatever text file you're using for your clipboard (I  
use c:]\pap\cited.txt). and close the file. You can then paste it  
into a field from within Papyrus.  You clearly wouldn't need to do  
this  if you're doing imports with a Papyrus format, but it is very  
handy indeed when you're updating something within a particular entry  
(e.g. the URL for something you got from the web.)
Cheers - and happy new year to all.
