To: gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU Subject: [Gimp-user] using gimp on windows xp

hello

I am a complete beginner, and have just downloaded gimp 2.6.0

And have just found this forum, is it ok to post questions using gimp on windows xp

thanks

Hi Carl, I am copying you what I have sent to a number of people and I hope you have more assistance than I have had..........yesterday I got 42 Emails from GIMP users, (176 Emails in all so far) NON OF WHICH, HELPED ME IN ANY WAY AT ALL.......read on Carl.

Hi Carl, I am also a relative beginner and I don't go into these layers and stuff but I am about to give up on this latest, (almost) edition of GIMP, I used the older (2yrs) version of GIMP and was ok for what I needed. I certainly am nowhere near an expert but managed ok for what I needed, all I was asking was for someone to help me with, 'copy to clip board'........with the older version I could click on edit and scroll down to where it said, 'copy to clipboard' and from there I could use it in my story, (I record processes where I work) but with this latest version when I click edit and scroll down there is no 'copy to clipboard' can you put some light on this for me...?

Yes go right ahead. I suspect that many users including myself use GIMP on Windows XP.

Terry,

They have simplified GIMP, which is probably why you don't see "Copy to Clipboard" in the Edit menu anymore -- now simply copying should copy the contents to the clipboard. If you are using Windows or Linux, then Ctrl+C will copy your image to the clipboard. I'm not sure about the keyboard shortcut to copy on Mac, but Edit > Copy will do the trick. Simplication of the tool means removing some unused or redundant features, and combining features that should go together. By combining simple copy and copy to clipboard, into simply copy they have made this MUCH easier to use in my opinion.

Gee, thanx Nathan, at least someone has replied......................I should have given U more details, yes, I have tried the 'copy and paste' but it doesn't paste into Word 2003, it does paste into XL 2003 but not word, yes I can wangle my way around it but on the earlier GIMP it was quick and easy. I am using GIMP 2.4.7. Maybe it isn't compatible with Microsoft Word 2003. Gee but it's good to see there are real people out there, who are keen to help even the lowest of us....!!

thanx again Nathan.

Hi Carl, People tell me to just "copy" then paste but I didn't mention I am trying to 'paste' to WORD 2003 and it won't do it, it will copy to XL 2003 and I know I can, "make a plan" but I still would have preferred to have done it the way I have been doing it for 2 yrs. I am using XP SP3. I just thought one of you guys out there would say....click this, click that and bob's your uncle.

Terry,

There's some kind of a problem with the copy/paste function with v2.6.1. (didn't have the problem with v2.4) I can "copy" an image from Gimp to IrfanView but not to XnView, a problem I didn't have in the past. I also was unable to paste an image from Gimp into Word 2003.
