Microsoft word and pasting problems/MC

[Mr.ZX]

I use word to make set-up sheets, and paste imigages from M/C into it. My computer has been upgrades to Win 7 and now when I copy and paste into word I am getting a previous image that was pasted into an older document?????

 

Any suggestions.

Can you paste it into any other software e.g image editing software (MS Paint at the least)? You could be able to save the image and then insert it rather than copy and paste.

Nope, tried that. It still past in what ever job I was working on before the current job???????????

I tried Paint, Wordpad no luck. I know it is a micosoft thing but not sure what to do or how to fix it.

[uncle_dolan]

try going to the desktop, selecting a file icon on the desktop and pressing ctrl+c (copy). This should clear the existing image from the clipboard. Now go back to mastercam and capture the image...see if this works.

I try to capture the image and when I paste into word nothing appears. It's blank. I have Windows 7 as well.

 

Any ideas?

How are you capturing it?

How are capturing the image? Mastercam doesn't seem to working correctly, but X+ does.

print screen works fine for me, use it constantly inside mcam...

Would you be automatically saving the image to disk, and always using the same filename ? (Overwriting the last image ?)

[K2csq7]

I mean the print screen button, just to the right of F12....

Then I just open word, right click and paste. I usually crop it inside word, then right click on it,

copy,

open paint,

paste,

save as jpg.

 

Never had a problem. You can resize it in word or paint if it gets too small

just did it here...

There is a known issue with the "Screen - Copy Image to Clipboard" function when running Windows 7 - which has been resolved in X6.

If you are running Windows 7 and want to capture "part of a screen",

(where 'Print Screen' would be just too big of a hammer)

I would point you to the very handy Snipping Tool functionality in Windows 7.

Look under All Programs - Accessories

I actually have full blown SnagIt but still use the Snipping Tool daily.

[Mr.ZX]

I'll try that, I like to use the "Copy image to clipboard function in M/C gives me what I want not the whole screen. I know Ctrl "print screen and Alt Print screen give different images. I have dual monotors so one will give me both monitors on my past.

[Mr.ZX]

Thanks for the "snipping tool" works perfect!

[tsaladyga]

I use the Screen>Copyimagetoclipboard function. When I hit Esc. to copy all, then try to paste it to Word, it doesn't work. I will try the snippit tool.

[tsaladyga]

I just tried the Snippit Tool! Worked Great! although I still miss being able to use the Screen capture in Mastercam.

[Mr.ZX]

Yes I agree I would use the screen capture all the time.
