m Instead of copying and pasting, use a shared folder to transfer an entire
file from one environment to another. Some Macintosh and Windows
programs can open files created on other platforms. For example,
ClarisWorks
® for Windows can open ClarisWorks files created in the
Mac OS environment, and vice versa. Even if you are using two different
programs, you may be able to save a file in a file format that both
programs understand, such as RTF for text, and EPS or TIFF for graphics.
(Check the manuals that came with your programs to see if they support
common file formats.)
m If you must use the Clipboard to transfer a lot of data or a large graphic,
try transferring the data in smaller pieces or making more memory
available to the application. For more information on increasing a
program’s memory, see the “Memory” topic area of Mac OS Guide,
available in the Guide (
h) menu.
m If you are copying and pasting a Photo CD image, make sure you are
copying an expanded version of the image.
I can’t copy graphics from a Microsoft Word 6.0 document in the Mac OS environment.
Try this method instead:
1. Select the graphic in Word 6.0 and choose Cut from the Edit menu.
2. Open the Edit menu and choose Paste Special.
3. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Picture format and click OK.
4. Select the graphic you just pasted and choose either Cut or Copy from the
Edit menu.
5. Switch to the PC environment and try pasting the graphic.
I can’t copy files from the Mac OS environment to a drive container.
To copy files to a drive container, the drive container file has to be mounted
on the desktop and the PC must be shut down.
I cannot open or save my files in a shared folder.
With some Windows 95 programs, you may not be able to open or save files
in a shared folder. You may have to move a file out of the shared folder before
you can open it, or save a file in a different location and then move it into the
shared folder.
