5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Under Windows 3.00, Word 5.00 can import portions of text screens from other DOS applications running in a window. This can be useful for cutting and pasting between applications or capturing text screens.

Use the following procedure to capture text from another application:

  The application must be run in text mode, in a window.   Highlight the desired area of the screen. While the portion is highlighted, pull down the system menu (or use ALT+SPACEBAR) of the window and choose the Edit Copy command. The selected portion will then be placed into the Windows Clipboard.   Now switch into Word and use the Insert command and type in “clipboard” at the “from:” field to insert the captured text beginning at the location of the cursor.
