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?

Duane you can export a PDF from preview to most formats

This would be fine if PlotMaker could import PDF.

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

I was searching for some information regarding use of Print2Pict in MAC OS X. It sounds like there is no way to use Print2Pict with MAC OS X. Has anyone tried to use it as a "printer" extension per se in OS X?
I've been trying to migrate from OS 9.2.2, but Print2Pict was a staple for producing my construction documents in ArchiCAD 6.5. It is such an important tool, that I've postponed migrating to ArchiCAD 8.1 or 9.0 because of this.
SURELY someone out there knows how to get Print2Pict to work in OS X??? Has anyone contacted the original shareware writer of Print2Pict to see if they know how to do this?
Print2Pict was/IS such a beautiful little piece of shareware. Sounds like a lot of people would be aided by this being able to be used in MAC OS X!!!!!!!!!

I just copied and pasted a seven page word doc into PM 9 in one go using the RTF paste option. All formatting is preserved save a table which comes in without cell borders. Only problem is it's a single huge text block and there's no way to convert it to neat columns that will fit a D sized sheet. I need to play with formatting options on the word side. It's also easy to paste from Excel, just copy the cells you want and paste using the Drawing element option. All the cell borders come in as lines, cell content as individual text blocks. No need for third party utilities.

That said, I would like to be able to import formatted documents like you can a pmk or jpg with PM able to update after changes. Forget MS and OLE. Just teach PM to open RTF and PDF files.
