Well I hadn't:) - RISC OS clipboard support in general is so
inconsistent that I rely on menus to indicate what is possible. In
this case Artworks might be improved by adding a menu entry to
indicate that something was available to be pasted.
So although it is good to know that I can get plain text into a text
area, I still don't know how to:
a) get text with effects into the text area from another app.
b) get text out of a text area into another app
(with or without effects)
c) get text from an ArtWorks text object into an AW text area
d) get text from an ArtWorks text area into an ArtWorks text object.
These are all obvious items for clipboard actions.
