Is there a way to paste text as default?

[Rene Stephenson]

FWIW...I'm running Win XP - SP2 with FM 7.2 (latest patch/update), and there's only one maker.ini where this change can be made, and it's in the Program Files folder in the path where FM 7.2 is installed. There is a maker.ini in the Documents and Settings path to my UserID application data, but it doesn't even contain the line that would need to be modified. Changing the one in the Program Files path is all it took to make the change effective on my system.

Will:
Please clarify:
Are you saying that changing the one and only maker.ini file to have TEXT as the first option on the line
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=
...has no effect?

Here's the mystery -
Running 7.2 on XP, sp2. I only have the one maker.ini (the one in the  
Program Files folder). I did a search through the entire C drive for  
the second one.  Nothing shows up. Of course, when I move the TEXT  
option to the head of the list in the Program Files file, it doesn't  
change how the paste function works.  Any hints where my other  
maker.ini might be lurking??

There's the right way and the wrong way.
Then there's my way - which is like the wrong way, but faster.
