Can someone explain to me why I can never seem to past into Mozilla? I have my resume opened in kword, want to simply paste the damn'd thing into a form field in the browser, but that would be too easy, I can paste the text into my xterm, etc but not mozilla. Is there more than one clipboard in Linux that I dont know about?

Thanks for any input, I am trying to do away with Windows 100% but I think Staroffice blows but this Koffice is not half bad....hitting a bunch of small but annoying snags along the way.

Mozilla does not use the same clipboard as KDE apps do. However, all X apps use X's clipboard. Any text that's highlighted is automatically copied to this clipboard. To paste it, put the focus on the app you want to paste in and hit the middle mouse button (left and right at the same time if you do not have a middle mouse button.)
