problems with mac.

if anyone knows how I can copy and paste text from Pages into Blogger.... I'd be extatic.

As of now, I can only write directly into this window but not copy and paste from another source on my Imac. Annoying is just the first name. THe text I past end up "underneath" this post window and there it disappears. Very strange.

Anyone know how to do this?

Hmmm - very strange. I have an iBook and don't have any problems copying text from Microsoft Word directly into Blogger (AppleWorks and TextEdit also work without a problem). I don't have Pages so I can't help you there but there are other options available.

It's a blogger thing. There are two tabs for the little window. One says "Compose" the other says "Edit." Click on the one that says "Edit" and you can copy and paste into there. (It might be the other way around with the Compose and Edit tabs-- it's a bit early here.) Good luck! I had the same problem and that's how I solved it.

ahh... I will try that! THanks!!!

Pit: I think I just use "the wrong" edit window... but I will see if that solves it. Otherwise it might be something with Pages.... (and me in compatability - nothing wrong with the program I am sure...)

You may have solved your issue already, but I thought I would chime in just in case.
I had a similar problem when I was using the Safari browser. This doesn't happen when I use Firefox.

MicroXX> Yes, using Safari.... but it worked if I moved into the edit" window using html instead of wysiwyg.

Thanks for all the help!!! Everyone! I knew it would be helpful to post it
