How do I copy text from emacs and openoffice into lyx under linux? I am trying to patch together a few sources for a presentation and I can't get lyx to recognize that it has something to paste in any way (marking and middle mouse button or marking and using edit->copy).
Micha, I've found that I sometimes need to hold the shift key down when I mark text with the trackball (mouse), and when pasting into the receiving application. I've copied from emacs to lyx without any problem. Just did a test, with emacs running under X, too: left trackball button held down as I blocked text in emacs; in lyx, click the left button where I wanted to insert the text, then both buttons (emulating a 3-button mouse). Worked like a charm. Rich -- Richard B. Shepard, Ph.D. | Integrity Credibility Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc. | Innovation <http://www.appl-ecosys.com> Voice: 503-667-4517 Fax: 503-667-8863
