Umm, command-shift-4 is for taking pictures. I don't know how you're getting anything on the clipboard. If you simply select the text you want and then press command-c (Copy from the Edit Menu) and then command-v (Paste from the Edit menu) into Text Edit it should work just fine, at least for text. Pictures are another matter. Text Edit doesn't do pictures. Good luck, ...Duane
