<h3>Copying as Unicode</h3>
<p>
In addition to supporting <a href="#copypaste">copying and pasting TM
and TMW</a>, Jskad supports copying Tibetan Machine Web as Unicode.
</p>
<p>
This effectively does a <a
href="http://thdltools.sourceforge.net/TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE.html">TMW-&gt;Unicode</a>
conversion and then copies the output to the system clipboard, ready
to be pasted into MS Word, OpenOffice, Notepad, or wherever.
Depending on how smart the target application is, you may have to
explicitly tell it to use a Tibetan Unicode font such as THDL's own
Tibetan Machine Uni.
</p>
<p>
<font color="red">NOTE WELL</font> that OpenOffice 1.1.4 has a bug
whereby the parts of your selection that were not Tibetan Machine Web
are silently dropped if you paste into a section of Tibetan Unicode.
If this affects you, you should paste into a section of English text.
