3312.0. "cut and paste graphics?" by MAIL::DAVIDSON () Thu Sep 06 1990 17:38

    We're in the middle of a sales cycle and Apple with MacIntosh have
    thrown a monkeywrench into the whole process.
    
    The Apple demo included the ability to "cut and paste" graphics into
    text.  
    
    My understatnding is that we have buried this capabillity under the
    postscript formatting that we provide for printing.
    
    Is there any way that we can show the cut and paste capability that is
    present on the mac?
    
    If this is posted incorrectly, please forgive.  I did do a title search
    and found nothing that seemed appropriate.
    
    Thank you,

    You could try to counter with DECwrite which has at least some
    capabilities along these lines.  QUEEN::DECWRITE is a start.

    Not sure if this is exactly what you mean but, it is easy to demo 
    cut/paste graphics without needing DECwrite.  Draw something in Paint,
    select part of the picture, cut or copy then paste into a cardfiler
    card.  DECwrite will give you more to play with though.
