Visio 2007 Event Monitor Add-On: Strange Copy & Paste behaviour

[Grandpa Steve]

Hi,
Has anyone tried to copy text from the Visio Event Monitor window, and
paste to another MS Office product (eg Word / Excel) ?

It appears that Event Monitor doesn't use the same clipboard as everything
else, or maybe there's a little gremlin in there!

If I copy the text from the Event Monitor text box, and paste into say
Excel, the pasted text is often (but not always) something different, i.e.
the last Cut/Copy I made in another Office product.

Hello Steve,

This works ok for me, either into Notepad or Word.

Best regards

John

There are controls that don't respond correctly to both types of
Copy/Paste keyboard shortcuts.
If you are using Ctrl-Insert and that doesn't do the copy correctly
then try Ctrl-C instead.

Thanks Paul,

Using CTRL+Insert does copy the text from Event Monitor to the 'Office'
Clipboard, which I can then paste wherever I like )

Interestingly, in the Event Monitor menu: Edit, Copy displays the keyboard
shortcut CTRL+C.
Using either the menu command or the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C allows me to
copy and paste text ONLY WITHIN Event Monitor!
Methinks there's a version control issue - Office Clipboard is no longer
(necessarily) where it was when Event Monitor was last released...

Hope this helps others...
