Hello all
Haven't been here in a while - it's great to see the Mac corner!
A similarly useful trick to
seekayess's one above is to highlight text, then hold the (left) mouse button down and simply drag to the Desktop.
A 'text clipping' icon will appear on the Desktop, named with the first few words of the text you selected. This can then be dragged and dropped into most applications that can process text (including reply to thread boxes on forums).
So great for researchers, anyone preparing a presentation, for example; but unfortunately also of use to cut & paste intellectuals
Enjoy
