There's an option in the Editing Preferences dialog (I think that's the one) that's called "Use MacWrite Clipboard". On the assumption that this means that Nisus will convert its private clipboard into MacWrite format (thus making formatting information available to those applications that support MacWrite's clipboard format) when Nisus is switched out under Multifinder (or quit from in the Finder), it could be worth a try. Yes. From the Manual (page 444): USE MACWRITE CLIPBOARD option ... Use this option when moving formatted text between Nisus and other word processors which support the MacWrite Clipboard format. This will enable you to retain the format and attributes of your text which are understood by MacWrite. Otherwise only the text will be preserved. -- Gilbert Harman (ghh@clarity.princeton.edu) Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (609) 258-2824
