pasting into container field cross-platform

Followers

February 1, 200620 yr

Hi!

We have a FM6 database in which we "draw" up a layout with numbers and drawings in Excel. On a PC, we can copy the rows/columns/drawings we need, then paste into a container field in FileMaker. The problem is our Macs don't recognize this, we get a "Windows OLE object" icon and that's it. (I actually have the same problem when coloring fields via the getrepition calc, Macs can't see it.) However, doing it on a Mac and then pasting works on both platforms, unfortunately that isn't an option for us, we need to do it on a PC, and our Macs don't have Excel.

Any ideas? Thanks!!
