Subject:      Re: Cut and paste from V8 editor to Microsoft Word

Kelley:

The new SAS enhanced editor almost certainly uses RTF (Rich Text Format) to
present the source code in it's edit windows.

You you want plain vanilla text when you paste you can do a couple of
tricks.

- In word, instead of Edit/Paste, use Edit/Paste Special:Paste As
Unformatted Text.
- Do an edit paste into an editor, like Notepad, that does not understand
RTF
    Copy from there and finally paste into Word.
