    Hi there!

    Is anybody able to explain to me why if I do a Copy & Paste from Firefox to OpenOffice I get different result under OS X and Window$ XP (in VMware)?

    * in the first scenario (OS X), I loose any image and hyperlink from the web page I try to copy and what I get in OpenOffice is a simple and plain text file (all formatting is lost)
    * in the latter (Window$ XP) all the attributes of the original page are kept from Firefox to OpenOffice, so I get a fully formatted documents, with images, frames and hyperlinks


    Thanks and ciao!

    Sergio
