Has anyone discovered a way to "COPY & PASTE" words into a title page from another source instead of having to manually re-type every single word - in PD version 9.0.

This would be extremely helpful when for example one likes to add some words copied from another language, or long info or a description for others to read as the info scrolls up.

I asked the Customer Support about this but was told "Regarding your concern, I regret to inform you that it is the default behaviour of the software and we can not change it".

Thank you!

Any text written in Word with any added characters (I'm thinking of the copyright "C") can be added into a Title by simply using Copy'n'paste. The same applies to text written in NotePad.

You can NOT copy'n'paste text OUT of Title Designer only IN.

Indeed it has Dafydd. Too bad Cyberlink Support doesn't read the forums.

Thanks again for all the feedback, I tried and YES, it does work. Makes me wonder why the people who design these programs don't know themself what it can do, kind of strange.

That is because the support people are not the programmers.
