	I am volunteering at a location with limited access. I want to paste something I composed in an email to a new thread. I am using an older Android phone and can get the document onto my clipboard but cannot paste it to CR4. Can this be done? __________________ "The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." -- Michelangelo

	I have a Samsung S4. (I'm not sure if they're all the same.) If I have something on the clipboard, I can tap in the message area of the reply and a little sign comes up [PASTE]. Touching that causes the clipboard contents to be pasted in. It took me a long time to figure this out. I find Android not very intuitive and using the phone screen very irritating. I hope this helps.

	Technically, it is possible to paste text into the CR4 text editor from your mobile device. What Rixter suggests should work. With my newer smartphone, I tap the text box and hold until a paste option comes up.

	I agree it is possible, although I find that not much on Android (or any cell phone) is completely intuitive, and I suspect things have been engineered with a totally different mind set than I have. Two stones to knock together might help me. __________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just build a better one.
