Ugh, another stunning example of application integration.
For those unfortunate enough to have to manipulate documents saved in the MDI format; have you ever tried copying-and-pasting a page into word directly?
You can't...
Instead, I had to go through a document and save each page of the MDI into a separate TIF file; then import these individually into word.
So much for Object Linking and Embedding being a standard! I would, given the ability to bash IS on the head, I'd use Acrobat for the same purpose instead.
I've used ancient 16-bit computers with the ability to do this from some document imaging software...
I'm using Office 2003, with MS document imaging at the moment (at least, I am at work...)
The home PC has IrfanView, various plugins, FoxIt PDF reader and OpenOffice.org on it. Strangely enough copying data isn't a problem between them - and none of them were written by the same people. "Working TO interoperability standards"... Not MS' greatest strength it seems.
