Save the Word file in Word 6/95 format; this avoids some of the special tags which Papyrus has trouble with. You may also want to rename the new file to end with a .doc rather than a .new. RTF does not work - it still has the tags. Let me know if that works.

I think you're right John, and I think specifically in this case (wouldn't do anything after opening the .NEW document) it was because of the footnotes, some of which had citations in. I managed to open it with WordPad and then into Word, but lost the footers. The solution I just found was to save the pre-text extract file as a Word 6/95 document. Run everything as usual and then reconvert after editing and pasting in the reference list. Hope it helps someone else.

Thanks very much, Scott O'Keeffe ________________________________ From: papyrus-l-bounces@ResearchSoftwareDesign.com [mailto:papyrus-l-bounces@ResearchSoftwareDesign.com] On Behalf Of John Rodgers Sent: Thursday, 11 August 2005 12:19 PM To: Papyrus Discussion List Subject: Re: [Papyrus-L] cant paste Dear Scott, This is my work-around for XP. It works for WordPerfect and for Word. Basically, you can't use the clipboar, you have to use a diskfile. But you can't open the diskfile directly from your document, because once it has been accessed Papyrus can't access it again. For some reason, the diskfile is held in reserve for the wordprocessor document as long as the document stays open. So you could close the document everytime you want to use Papyrus, but that would be a hassle, and you'd lose your place. Here's what works for me: Don't use the clip board. Instead, under Preferences, Os/Nt clipboard, use a diskfile: c:\papref.txt Then, in your wordprocessor, write two macros. I call one Inspap and the other outpap. put your cursor where you want the citation to go in your "home" or working document Here's what Inspap does: [begin macro] create a new document 'do not name it- this is a "dummy" document open c:\papref.txt ' open the papyrus disk file select all 'grab everything copy 'copy to clipboard close the document 'close the dummy insert 'insert into home document. [end macro] This macro keeps your cursor place in the "home" document, so all you'll notice is a blink while it runs. Because the dummy file is closed, XP won't keep papref.text in reserve, and Papyrus can write to it. copying from the wordprocessor to papref.txt: highlight the text you want to copy over [begin macro] copy 'copies highlighted text to the clipboard open new document ' opens the dummy again paste 'pastes the text to the dummy save c:\papref.txt AS ASCII 'saves to the disk file close file 'close the dummy [end macro] Again, since the dummy file that accessed papref.txt is closed, XP will let Papyrus manipulate it in the future. If you have trouble I can email you the macros for either WP or word. . As I recall, in Word you have to make sure you save the macro to the toolbar in "full path" format. I use this on a Millenium machine and on an XP machine. Good luck, may the Papyrus be with you! -John At 06:43 PM 8/10/2005, you wrote: Content-class: urn:content-classes:message Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C59E05.40CB600F" I've just started using Papyrus on a network running windows xp. I have been unable to get the past function (f4 key) to work. Has anyone got a solution to this problem? Cheers. Scott O'Keeffe John R.

Would you be able >to forward the word macros? It doesn't have to be that complex. You do use the clipboard, but you indicate via Papyrus preferences that you're using a disk file instead of the clipboard. However, I've found that you can export citations from Papyrus via a "clipboard" file easily, but I haven't been able to figure out how to import that way. (Material can be imported using the import formats, but I haven't figured out how to paste things in.) That being said - go to Preferences, OS2/NT Clipboard, and specify a file. (I tend to use c:\pap\cited.txt). Indicate that citations go to the clipboard. Then, from within your word processor, just go to "import a file", and tell it that the file is c:\pap\cited.txt (or whatever file you specified). Works fine for me. But be careful to save in Word 6/95 format! (Word Perfect works much more smoothly, but I know that most people don't use it anymore.) Hope this works for you.
