Not quite sure what you are doing! Why would you try to save a Word doc? Why 
wouldn't you keep it a JPG and link the JPG?


I am assuming you actually have Word on your computer. If not, the file will 
open in the next-best thing, Wordpad. If you do have Word, then your file 
associations got a little mixed up and you would have to change that in Windows.


Some versions of Windows Clipboard will allow you to save up to 24 [I think] 
different things in the clipboard, but when you paste it will ask you which of 
the 24 you want to paste?

Subject: [LegacyUG] How to Clear the Clipboard




I'm a relatively new Legacy user: I entered a Word 'file' of a headstone. It 
was too big and needed cropping, which I did. Also changed the name. But every 
time I attempt to add the new file it loads the old file, even tho I'm clicking 
on the new file name! I deleted the old file. I tried adding a wrong file to 
see if that changed the clipboard - nope. How to clear the clipboard? I want to 
add several hdstns from Word as 'files' so would like to find the answer before 
the problem arises again. Also it opens in Wordpad, can I change it open in 
Word?


At one point it asked me something like 'insert from Windows clipboard?' I said 
yes - after I copied it, got the same old file result. Could not get that 
option to try again, and again... Just spend a lot of time in Archives, but 
with a lot of the info being from 07, wonder if a lot of those Q&As might have 
been addressed in the software by now. (Didn't find this particular question.) 
Thanks.
