Yes, yes, I think more seasoned RO users are aware of that limitation, but
lets face it RISC OS is so archiac it's a wonder its clipboard can do
anything here in 2012.
Windows is supposed to have a rather more sophisticated set of Clipboard
hooks, so I just expect apps running under windows to do what they are
supposed to.
Damit all... I can copy and paste a jpeg out of a frame in Word and paste
it into Win OvPro, but I can't do the reverse with the exact same jpeg.
I've got enough problems as it is sorting her problems, without this one
making everything even more difficult.
It's enough to start a fella back into grumpy mode. ;-)
