method</a> that could potentially be useful to place text in the clipboard.
Some instructions for opening Notepad or some other editor, then pasting the
clipboard and saving the file locally might work for you. There is no
getClipboard method, though, for security reasons. You would need instructions
to open the saved text file, copy the contents, and paste them into a text
field in Xerte. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

it’s flash based and as such relies on flash’s file handling
