Hi Stephan
I hit another problem last night and gave up but will try and replicate it 
again in the next hour when back in my office. I could not copy and paste text 
from a pdf document into Lyx as was trivial before. I am the person who cannot 
insert graphics via the normal insert graphics route but can by inserting the 
graphics file location. Latest version of Lyx and Ventura 13.1. This new 
problem is similar in that I can still with my mouse select the text from the 
pdf document and place the cursor where I want it in the Lyx document but now 
have to click paste from the menu and it works. I have to double check this 
when I get back to my office. I saw somewhere on the web something I didn’t 
understand that I” imagemagick was missing????
Thank you for your help but this is really serious as I am in the middle of 
teaching and trying to prepare lecture slides. 
Many thanks
Mark
