Instant image from Microsoft word?

[Lompoc42]

I just found this out on accident. Select text or whatever in your word document and copy it. You can now paste it, not thru the text tool mind you, onto a layer and it comes up as a white box with your type from the document in it!! ...Did anyone else know this? Was a complete accident. [confused]

Take 'er easy B7

Useful!

Another tip: most of times the copy and paste of a photo from word to PS doesn't work: the image becames heavily posterized... I sometimes zoom on the image, then use the printscreen key to make a screen grab that I can easily paste to Photoshop. If needed, I can assemble several of them ...

if you select the type tool before you paste your copied text into your image this will now become editable...........
