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
