[Papyrus-L] Importing information into Papyrus

[Ann Lennarson Greer]

Hi Raisa,
   I can't do it. The clipboard file shows up in the pap directory but nothing
happens when I paste.  Possibly this is related to the problem I am having
getting citations to paste to the clipboard. I sent a message to the list serve
yesterday and am waiting.

> Cheers - and happy new year to all.
