How does one copy/paste from a music editor directly to Words? For example, to show a music score in a Words text sheet.
 
Can't you use Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste)? They are both standards of Windows so maybe you can make use of them. Or maybe you can capture an image of your music editor (Alt+PrtScr) and paste it on Winword (Ctrl+V).

Sure hope this helps. peace! [peace]

The copy (ctrl+C) and paste (ctrl+V) are not so standard, they work well only with programs from the same maker as Excel and MS Words. If one tries to copy/paste from a musical score editor (Encore, Finale, Guitar Pro) to MS Words, he will obtain, in MS Words, an icon, not a copy of the musical notation.

I would like to use MS Words to write an article or a classical guitar method and use a midi sequencer to edit a musical piece. Then, it would be nice to add that piece (in musical notation format), into the article made with MS Words.
 
Save your file as a picture format possibly...maybe it is already...and then,
Try the Insert Picture function in WORD. I haven't had a go at what your trying to do, though I'd work on it....remember MS ain't no Mac when it comes to Music and Art editing, creating, composing etc..

possibly more direct help from this page;
choose MS Office

or just click here --> Forum68 (MS WORD is one component of Office)

when you post there..include this Thread61_5-868813 - just remove the underscore between the "1" and the "5", and hit Preview Post and you'll notice it shows as a Hyperlink pointing to Here [smile] ..then Submit
