That's the slightly less user friendly side of this handy little utility!
If I recall correctly, the Red paw is to both extract and send back text from/to PPT, while the Blue paw does it for .DOC files. This dual action of the button assumes a standard, simple workflow, i.e. extract text > process > re-insert text into the same file.
I just checked, Red is for PPT, Blue is for Word, to extract from textboxes, very handy as well.
So it does require you to be quite methodical (sadly, something I'm not!)
For me the problem is more the memory than the method... if I don't (need to) use a certain little program, I forget about it...
Clearly, for this in/out process to work, you must have ONLY the relevant doc, ppt, etc. open and no others (otherwise the poor thing will get confused!)
Well, that's a little normal, same thing goes for my spellchecker and other programs... like Word and Wordfast Classic!!
If you're in a translation session and want to close another Word document, it says to close the session first, and you're not even working on it...
Meanwhile, we're diverging from the original subject
