I have been using Cricket Draw 1.1 for quite some time now. I am having a problem pasting objects into other applications (like MS Word, for example). I can copy and paste within Cricket Draw, but I just cannot paste an object copied from Cricket Draw into another application. Any suggestions regarding this will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I hit on a work-around that works for me; you might give it a try. Instead of copying directly into Word, try copying from Cricket Draw, THEN open the scrapbook and paste there. Now copy from the scrapbook into Word. The scrapbook must be closed before you do the initial copy in Cricket Draw. If you want to do subsequent copies from Cricket Draw, close the scrapbook before each one. I think this has something to do with the way multifinder handles the clipboard contents (anyone out there know?). I don't know if this will work in your case, but it enabled me to copy graphics from Word to other programs. Norm swenson@isl

So, I called up Cricket Software and they told me that the problem was due to an incompatibility between Cricket Draw and the QuickDraw output it needed to produce for ImageWriter and screen output. They also said that there were several releases with the version number 1.1. When I called they asked me for the creation date from the Get Info box from the Finder. You need to have a version that was created some time in December. (I don't have the date off hand.) If you call them up though, you should be able to get them to send you the most recent version of 1.1 for free. At least, they did it for me. -Ace
