--- Comment #3 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2008-06-04 15:20:35 --- This bug should probably be closed out, and here's why.
Within WINE programs, copy / paste works using the following settings in DictationBox. --use Windows Copy Command --use Windows Paste Command
Copying and pasting from dictation box to non-wine applications is even easier, but it is tricky. To do so, leave all the dictation box settings at default. Then open dictation box and dictate into it (as I am doing now). Then, when you want to transfer text, hit the "transfer" button or say that word, and then immediately highlight where you want the text to go, and hit control V. The text will transfer. However, you only have about three seconds in which to transfer the text. After that, the buffer vaporizes. The copy/paste application is of course very useful in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, because that is what the program is for, to generate a lot of text and then put that text somewhere. I would not suggest closing this bug unless I were comfortable with the current solution. Having said that, I don't know if the other two applications have a problem similar to Dragon NaturallySpeaking or not. But I do believe that this particular DNS bug can be closed out.
