Copy and paste with Macs

When you copy and paste a graph or layout from Prism Mac to another application, you paste a picture only. The concepts of linking and embedding do not apply on the Mac.

Copying vertical text can be a problem with Mac programs. Prism can copy vertical and angled text in two ways. Choose in the Preferences Dialog. The best choice is to copy vertical or angled text as text fonts. This is most compact and gives the highest resolution. But some programs cannot interpret the vertical or angled text, so flip it to horizontal. The alternative is to convert vertical and angled text into many pixels, and copy those to the clipboard. You can choose the resolution. If the pasted vertical or angled text seems too jagged, choose a higher resolution.
