Ctrl-Shift-C not copying entire mockup
When I cut and paste individual mockup elements and then try to copy the entire mockup to the clipboard (Ctrl-Shift-C), the last element cut and paste is what's on the clipboard, not the mockup. I'm running version 1.5.15.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Doug, sorry you're frustrated, but I'm not sure I understand. Here's what I just tried:
1- opened a mockup
2- selected a few elements
3- hit CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy and paste them
4- hit CTRL+SHIFT+C to export the whole mockup to an image in my clipboard
5- opened Fireworks
6- hit CTRL+N for new
7- hit CTRL+V for paste
my whole mockup was there, as I expected.
What am I doing different?1 Comment

Sorry, let me give you detailed steps. It seems to be related to text cut&paste and PowerPoint.
1. Start with a blank mockup.
2. Drop a button onto the page.
3. Double click on the button and type "my button".
4. Drop a second button on the page.
5. Double click on the first button and press Ctrl-C
6. Double click on the second button and press Ctrl-V. "my button" is now the title of the second button, too.
7. Ctrl-shift-c.
8. In a blank PowerPoint presentation, Ctrl-V pastes "my button" text, not the mockup.
9. Restart mockups. Place a couple of buttons, but don't do any text cut and pastes.
10. Ctrl-shift-c
11. In PowerPoint, Ctrl-v pastes the mockup image.
Once I do any cut and pasting of text, I can no long copy the mockup image to power point. Doing the same steps except with MS Paint works fine. I'm using the latest PowerPoint on Vista 32-bit. -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the revised steps Doug, I was able to reproduce the issue. Let me investigate what might be happening and get back to you.

Inappropriate?Ok Doug, I looked at it more and it appears to be a Powerpoint-specific bug. My code places the right image in the clipboard, but PPT seems to ignore it and just use the old value (for some mysterious reason). Pasting in Fireworks works just fine for instance. So...I will Google to see if PPT has a hidden setting to "use the clipboard properly"...but other than that, I can't think of anything else I can do on my side to fix this problem.
I’m not very happy when I can't fix it

Inappropriate?Hi Doug, I found a workaround!
In PPT, instead of doing a simple paste, select "Paste Special":
Then in the dialog, select "Picture":
And voila', the picture is there!
I’m happy when I find easy workarounds
