pasting text from FM to FM

[Rene Stephenson]

Interweaving similar threads:  If you actually want to paste as  plain text by default, but you're pasting between 2 FM files, could you  do that by setting the default clipboard paste operation as text first  in the maker.ini, and then open each file in a separate instance of FM  to thereby force use of the Windows clipboard and get the FM to FM to  paste as plain text by default???

the copy/paste operation is completely internal to FrameMaker 
and retains all formatting. 

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Subject: pasting text from FM to FM

When I have 2 instances of FM open and I copy text in one  FM and paste
the text in the second instance of FM, the formatting disappears even
though the same pgfs are used in both places. Even tables lose their
tableness.

What is happening here and how can I fix it?
