pasting word doc. into text box

Post by inchtalla » 03 Nov 2014 11:55

Is it possible to paste a short word doc into the text box on a chart/diagram - if so how?
I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing

Yes, having created the Text Box, either right-click the box, or use the Diagram menu, and choose Format.
Then on the Text tab you can paste whatever is in the clipboard.
But remember FH only supports plain text, so any formatting in Word will be lost.
