Interweaving similar threads: If you actually want to paste as plain text by default, but you're pasting between 2 FM files, could you do that by setting the default clipboard paste operation as text first in the maker.ini, and then open each file in a separate instance of FM to thereby force use of the Windows clipboard and get the FM to FM to paste as plain text by default???
Rene Stephenson "Ridder, Fred" <fred.ridder at intel.com> wrote: The behavior you are seeing is because you are using two separate instances of FrameMaker, so that the copy/paste operation has to use the Windows clipboard. If you copy and paste between two different document windows in the same instance of FrameMaker, the copy/paste operation is completely internal to FrameMaker and retains all formatting. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Even tables lose their tableness. What is happening here and how can I fix it?
