------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 11 21:58:05 +0000 2007 ------- Description of Problem: When a chemical drawing is copied from ChemDraw onto clipboard, and then pasted into Writer, it get pasted as a low resolution bitmap. In Edit -> Paste Special menu the only option is "bitmap" (source "unknown"). Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. copy a drawing from ChemDraw onto clipboard (select -> apple+C) 2. paste into writer (apple + V) Actual Results: drawing pasted as bitmap Expected Results: drawing pasted as a high resolution object that can be can be later copied onto clipboard, then pasted back in ChemDraw and further modified in this program. How often does this happen? always Additional Information (OS patch level, drivers, library version, etc.) MacOSX, 10.4.10, OpenOffice Aqua alpha version (aquavcl01_20070630.) !same thing happens in the latest OpenOffice X11 version! I contacted ChemDraw about this issue and here's their answer: "I got some feedback on this from development. When a copy takes place from ChemDraw, we put a lot of different file formats on the clipboard. It is then up to the application in which you want to paste to get the correct format from the clipboard. In OpenOffice on Windows the default is bitmap when pasted but for OLE manipulation you need the enhanced metafile format. But at least on Windows you have the choice of doing this manually through the 'paste as' functionality. On Mac this functionality does not seem to be available and OpenOffice is not picking the desired format from the clipboard. It seems that this is a limitation on the side of OpenOffice and there is not much we can do about that. We suggest you contact the OpenOffice people and have a request entered to solve this problem. If they do require our assistance with regards to selecting the appropriate format for chemical structures from the clipboard they can always contact us.
