Problems with information transfer

Copying and pasting between environments isn’t working.

Only certain kinds of information can be copied and pasted. See “Copying and Pasting Information Between the Mac OS and Windows Environments” in Chapter 4 for more information.

Copying and pasting between Mac OS and Windows works only if the PC Clipboard extension is installed in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder (in the Mac OS) and WINCLIP is installed in the Windows environment.

Check the Control Panels folder in your System Folder to make sure that the Macintosh Easy Open (Mac OS Easy Open) control panel is installed. Make sure the Automatic Document Translation option is turned on.

If Mac OS Easy Open is not available, you can install it from your system software CD.

Windows must be running before you begin to copy and paste.

You cannot copy and paste between the Mac OS and DOS.

The PC Setup Prefs file may be damaged. Locate the file (in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder) and throw it away; then restart the Macintosh. When the computer starts up, open the PC Setup control panel and reconfigure your settings.

Tips for copying and pasting images

If you are having trouble copying and pasting text or images between the Mac OS and PC environments, try the following tips:

mInstead of using the Paste command, use the Paste Special command if it is available in the application you are pasting into.

mIf you cannot paste an image into a word-processing program in the PC environment, try pasting the image into a graphics program, such as PaintBrush. Then copy the image to the Clipboard from the graphics program and try pasting it into your word-processing program.
