    Copying Windows text into DOS program
    « on: May 16, 2008, 11:21:44 AM »
    Hello !
    Any help advice would be appreciated!

    How can I copy text from a windows word processing document and paste it into a DOS program??

    I'm sure it's probably not "do-able", but I'm so desperate, I had to ask!!

    Thanks!
     :)

      arlight this works in command prompt so it should work in any dos prog

      first copy the text from the Word proccessor(asumming Microsoft Word) then just right click at the spot that you want to paste the text onto command prompt or watever dos prog ur using
      If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

      Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

        Hello,
        Thanks for answering!  I have many different word processing programs-microsoft works (several versions), MSWord, Quark, etc.  I want to paste text into a highly specialized DOS program..it's written in FoxBase (I'm not sure what version)..

        The text would be pasted within a program that is used for data entry.

        Thanks so much!!!!
