DOS Compatibility Card: Windows Calc. Uses Leading Space (2/95)


I am using the DOS Compatibility Card and I am having problems pasting a number from the Windows Calculator application into the Macintosh Calculator. The Macintosh Calculator doesn't accept the number.

When you copy a number from the Windows Calculator, it places a leading space in front of the number, which prevents you from pasting the number in the Macintosh Calculator. One workaround is to paste the number into a Macintosh application, then delete the space. Once you delete the space, you can paste the number into the Macintosh Calculator.
