- Questions and Answers
-
- Q: I just put in the unlock code and still get the startup
- dialog saying my version is unregistered.
- A: You have more then one copy of CopyPaste installed in
- your System Folder. The easiest solution is to use find file
- type in CopyPaste highlight all the found items and put them
- in a folder on your desktop. Restart (you should see no
- dialog for CopyPaste) then reinstall by dragging the latest
- version of CopyPaste on top of the System Folder where it
- will ask if it can go into the Extension Folder, say yes and
- Restart.

- Q: Is there a way to copy something to the regular Mac clipboard
- without using CopyPaste?
- A: Yes, either type command + c + c (double c) or hold down
- the ctrl or option or shift key while selecting Copy from the
- menubar. This means you can use CopyPaste even with
- applications that misbehave with the clipboard.
-
- Q: I want to buy CopyPaste by credit card but don't feel the
- internet is safe.
- A: There are several options but first we feel the internet

- but if you want another method here are a few. One way is to
- use stuffit to compress the registration form and put a
- password on the compressed file (also using stuffit) then
- send us the password or you can add 100 to the account
- number and email it and tell me its encrypted with julian
- encryption. or you can call me at 916 546 9005 to leave your
- info on our secure answering machine or with me personally.

- Q: When i use Word to do a calculation i get an incorrect answer.
- A: The reason is that Word uses the clipboard without notifying
- CopyPaste and when the request to paste the main clipboard comes
- CopyPaste complies with what was the last clip its aware of.
- The answer is to either:
- 1. Make sure that the most recent clipboard you used is the default one
- (copy anything without number), then make your calculations. No exchange is
- needed.
- 2. Press any of the modifier key while you select paste from the menu. this
- disables CopyPaste temporarly and will paste the main clipboard without
- exchange.
