Especially if you write a lot of code, which it always tries to spell-check as well... > >> I still use Word for the final spell check of my documents.

Well, I am doing it on Windows (obviously :-)), where the clipboard can be used as expected for getting things *out of LyX*. Pasting Text, etc. *into* LyX, is a bit more complicated (as one always has to choose "past as lines" or "past as paragraphs", where the latter would be a reasonable default), but works as well. However, as far as I know, the developers have been doing a lot of good work on this topic for 1.5, so we can expect quite some improvements in clipboard handling :-) Daniel
