Summary: Copy and pasting between Office 2003 apps and Linux apps not working well Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc3 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dandrejvv@gmail.com
Hi When working with the various MS Office (2003) apps, the copy and pasting functionality seems to work well. I tested by just typing some text in Word, Excel and Powerpoint and copying it among each other (that is right click->copy and Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V). This seems fine.
But now I type something in Thunderbird (mail client) or Open Office's apps and try to copy paste into the MS Office apps. MS Word seems to be happy with all the copy and pasting from other apps. I got MS Word to accept and present text to Thunderbird, OO Text writer, Presenter and Spreadsheet. However, I couldn't right click and go Copy, I had to Ctrl+C. MS Excel and Powerpoint wasn't so forgiving. Excel pops up with a message saying that it couldn't copy the text (that is taking text from a linux app into Excel) and Powerpoint just did nothing besides the split second freeze). So far only MS Word and Excel can copy text to Linux apps it seems.
It would be great if all the copy/paste with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and Right click->Copy/Right click->Paste worked.
