Re: vmware cut and paste
Seems like cut and paste between host and guest is touch and go for me as well.
I think it has worked here and there but I also remember cut and pasting
into a file in guest, saving file, and then opening file in host as
a work around. It is not a feature I use that much but I do remember
having some problems with it as well.
Just tried to cut and paste from MS Word in WinXP to OOWriter to
no avail. Same problem as you.
