Pasting items copied outside of PageMaker (Macintosh only). PageMaker for the Macintosh uses an internal clipboard, not the standard Macintosh Clipboard. To paste externally copied or cut data into PageMaker for the Macintosh, you must first render those items to the PageMaker internal clipboard using the PRenderClip(false); command.
