pasting text from FM to FM

[Ridder, Fred]

That should work. But personally I think it's probably just as
convenient to use one of the free past-as-plain-text 
utilities like PureText, since that approach works within 
a single file as well as between files, and also works with
other applications.  I use PureText and use it at least as 
often when pasting into Outlook as with FrameMaker.

	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???

		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?
