-Apparently, ​Word 2011 for Mac doesn'​t ​accept copy/paste of RTF texts containing pictures (the "​standard"​ way for JSesh to perform copy/​paste). ​Hence, the only solution ​is to select PDF copy/paste. Go to the preference menu, select ​"clipboard preference",​ and check "PDF" (and only PDF).+  * Word 2011 for Mac started (at last) to accept copy/paste of RTF texts containing pictures (the "​standard"​ way for JSesh to perform copy/paste), and it accepts now EMF format in themPDF is no longer ​the "best" ​solution as PDF pictures tend to be badly cropped.
   * On word 2008, usable formats are RTF and PDF, PDF giving the best results. It seems that you can use "​EMF"​ pictures in the RTF export. EMF gives much better results than Mac Pict.   * On word 2008, usable formats are RTF and PDF, PDF giving the best results. It seems that you can use "​EMF"​ pictures in the RTF export.

-  * On Nissus and Mellel, one can use either PDF or RTF. As the PDF keeps its comments, it will be possible ​in the (near) future ​to cut and paste to and from JSesh. For RTF, you need to use MacPict as output format. +  * On Nissus and Mellel, one can use either PDF or RTF. As the PDF keeps its comments, it is possible to cut and paste to and from JSesh.

-  * On Openoffice/​NeoOffice,​ PDF doesn'​t work yet, so one needs to use RTF. The possible ​picture formats ​are MacPict (for maximal compatibility with word) and EMF (with better graphical results). ​Neoffice 3.1.1 seems to have a bug in EMF support. I stick to 3.0.2 for the moment.+  * On Openoffice/​NeoOffice,​ PDF doesn'​t work yet, so one needs to use RTF. The suggested ​picture formats ​is EMF (with better graphical results).
