Dude. I copy and paste every day. FP2003.
Chill.


OK.

You CAN paste into the link box. No, you cannot use the right click
menu, like you are probably used to doing, and there are several good
reasons why. I won't go into them here.

To paste a link, copy it, put the cursor in the link box in FP2003, and
hit CTRL-V. It is the standard paste key combination for all Windows
machines. The entire list of keyboard shortcuts can be found at:


OK, I can paste, but CTRL-V is hardly intuitive, and it is a change from
previous versions. I have other programs that won't let you right click,
but you can go to "edit" and manually paste. I'm glad I can cut and
paste, and I thank you for the info, but my complaint stands.

And in addition to what others have already stated...

If you have a website or URL from the web that you want to link to,
highlight the text on your page where you want to add the link....open
your browser (I use IE) to the page you want to link to (or have it
already opened)....then go back to FP and click on the "create link"
button ....when the dialogue box opens, click back to your browser,
then back to FP and the URL that you have open in the browser will
appear in the dialogue box (like magic)....Click save/okay and you're
done.

Now this is cool, thank you.

Thanks for the info. I appoligize for the rant but this it is
frustrating to get held up by such a simple thing, and the problem is
caused by attempts to automate simple tasks. One thing it is to add
features, but when you take features away and completely replace them
with supposed automation... For instance, it's actually gotten more
difficult to highlight text in Word because the program tries guess what
you are going to highlight rather than just let you do it.

By the way, I realize this is a newgroups and I'm not actually talking to
MS here.
