In the current Windows version of Blender (2.11), there is a minor Bug that prevents you from pasting the contents of the .cutbuffer text file into Blender using Alt+[v]. To repair this: - create a backup copy of the .Bfs file in your Windows directory and store it in a safe place (Just in case) - open up the .Bfs file in your Windows directory using a text editor, and replace: / /tmp with \ \tmp (Note: depending on the text editor that you use, the above may be displayed as a single line with little black squares. Do NOT erase the black squares - they represent carriage returns. Simply replace all the '/' with '\' and then save the file). - create and save the following file: C:\tmp\.cutbuffer - add some text to the .cutbuffer file and save it - open Blender, add a text object, delete the default text, and then press Alt+[v]
