How to insert a tree built in Trees 3 into a Macintosh word processing document
Note: On Windows, a Trees 3 tree can be copied to the clipboard with CNTRL-C and pasted into a word
processing document directly. This is not possible on a Macintosh due to limitations in the Wine emulation
environment.
To transfer a tree from the workspace to a word processing program in the Macintosh version of Trees or Trees Player, you must take a screenshot of the tree and then drag the screenshot picture into the word processing document.
To take the screenshot follow these steps:
- Depress the key combination COMMAND-SHIFT-4 and release. The cursor will turn into a crosshair.
- Move the cursor without clicking the mouse button to a position just above and to the left of the tree you are interested in.
- Hold down the mouse button and drag the cursor across the tree to its lower right corner.
- Let up on the mouse button.
- The computer will automatically create a file with the name "Screen shot..." and put it the desktop.
- Drag this file into your word processing document.
