Pasting text from Word X

[Anonymous]

When I copy text in Word X, then past into a SE window, as a picture, the format ("style" settings in Word) is changed, in ways that are unpedictable, but usually based on some previously used style settings in Word.
Anybody else experiencing this?

I continue to be amazed and confused about TEXT in AC / PM... For pete's sake, GS has told us that Plotmaker is PAGEMAKER for CAD... You'd think we could get some text in there with formatting!...

OLE is crap.
Cut & Paste is OLE.

The only saving grace was Print2PICTon MAC (not available for OsX) and something I found for WinXP called e.peernet driver. I will look up the specs tomorrow at the office. but it is just what Print2PICT is but can save in ANY format conceiveable.

It's a bit pricey at around $90... and you still have to produce in Word / Excel and print. That same SINGLE SHEET printing crap applies as well.

Here's hoping [or rather "wishing"] for ACv9.0

This would be fine if PlotMaker could import PDF.

I suppose I was hinting that this requires not only an extra step, but an extra FILE for each set of notes.... just cumbersome...

You guys ever try the screen capture process?

Using the Mac in OS X.2.8, I do it as follows.

Press down on Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4.

This will give you a screen shot saved to your clipboard which can then be pasted into your file.

Just crop the area you want to use. No second files, No other drivers to deal with using or buying.

True, the resolution is not 200 dpi. The job is done though.

What I meant was Preview can export the PDF file to different formats which can then be imported into PM

Unless something has changed recently the quality on these other formats is inadequate for text.

Change the page setup to around 200% (use a large page format) when creating the PDF. Any exported PNG/jpg can be shrunk when importing into PM to get a good resolution
