hi ..

first of all. is still trying to get to know toolworks.
and its not easy. but whatever.

- - -

the problem is :
i use an ocr program (abbyy), to scan windows desktop for graphic text to convert it to
normal text.
1 / so i make toolswork start the program, then let toolswork do the things to save
the converted grafhic from windows clipboard to an ordinart text file.
2 / then i make toolswork read the text file and use it in its program.

the problem is.
when i use ocr and copy the text to windows clipboard. then i can easily paste the
text to an ordinary text file within windows.
but if i try to get the clipboard ocr text and use it in toolsworks, then its the
copied clipboard i get from when i have. copied command lines or text from within
toolswork.

- - -

no matter what i try it seems like there are 2 different clipboard types.
1 from windows and 1 from toolsworks.

and this difference makes the whole process of optaining the information a whole lot
more time consuming.

- - -

or is there a way to specific tell toolswork to only use windows own clipboard ???
and everything that goes there.
- - -

hope this can help u.

You could try two things:

1) Change "How to insert macro...." option in "Macro Properties" tab from "Using clipboard" to "As keystrokes".

or

2) Depending on your macro (I do not know how it look like, you can e-mail it to me and hopefully I will be able to provide a better help) you can try to put wait command (<wx>) to your macro right before where you paste the clipboard content.

i found a solution to it ..
that i delete the content of the clipboard, before copying to it.
that way it functions ok.

- - -

hmm ..
the real problem was.

that i didn't wait for the clipboard to get full.
so i now use the command :

<waitfor>("CLIP","SET","",5,0)

we all learn all the time. smiling.
and i get better.
