You have not to open your email program, only to copy in FEN mode and paste
in your chess program(button COPY as FEN or file "edit" "Copy FEN to
clipboard"

I've tried to copy and paste as you've suggested...but the copy button
is greyed out?! I'm using Windows XP...and it's NOT allowing me to copy
and paste. The option to copy the image as a BMP is NOT greyed out...but
the copy as FEN IS greyed out. Please fix this. This has been the case
even in Version 2.

Or you have unchecked "Only legal position are allowed" in the
"Preferences"dialog. If this box is unchecked you can create diagrams with
no legal positions (for example a position with more than two kings) ; in
this case the FEN copy mode is disabled so an user cannot paste a no legal
FEN position in a chess program with impreductible results.If you re-check
this box, the "Copy as FEN" will be enabled.
In this mode (no legal) you can copy only as RTF or as bitmap for a word
processor.

I've tried your suggestions. Even the "Only legal position positioin are
allowed". I'm still getting the "copy FEN to clipboard" option greyed
out. I'm going to try redownloading the program to see if this fixes the
problem. But please understand...this problem has been happening to me
EVEN as early as version 2.

I just redownloaded the program...it fixed the problem. Thanks for that
suggestion. But you still have a problem with the PGN file causing the
program to crash. Please fix this. My file is 356 games big..and it
includes nonstandard chess positions as well like Fischer Random chess
positions. The moment I try opening a position from the PGN file...it
crashes the program.

I think you'll need to fix the way the program handles PGN files. If it
crashes when I try to simply open the file? Something is wrong.

Please send Alain a copy of the file! Until then, he's basically
shooting in the dark!

The "Paste" button is grayed out if you have nothing in the clipboard but
the "copy as FEN" is not grayed out. It is the button to the left to the
"Paste" button with a "F".I am using xp too and test my program with many
computers and thousands users use it and it is the first time I hear this,
it worked fine with version 2 too.You should redownload the program.
