Get one of the editors available for the OmniGo (IZL comes with a text
editor, OgEdit by RC Schuler (schuler@usa.net), or the BMS Text Editor
by Blue Marsh Softworks) and use the editor to cut from Notepad to the
text editor OR cut from the text editor to the Notepad app.
The text editor file can be moved to/from the Omnigo and loaded into any
wordprocessor on a PC or Mac.
The formatine (bold, underlining, italic) are lost & digital ink is not
transfered.
