Copy and paste text into different app.

[Matthew E. Wells]

Hello,

I typed some text onto a fireworks document using the standard text tool.
Now I would like to use that text somewhere else. Whenever I try to Copy and
Paste it into TextEdit or Word or Dreamweaver, it shows up as a graphic. How
do I force Fireworks to let me copy the text itself?

Regards,
Matthew

I am indeed on the Mac :) Thank you, the workaround worked. T minus 11 days
for the new one. I hope they change the icons ;)
