Arena paste moves

Hello,

Does someone know how to paste moves in arena please ?

for example :

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 *

Did you try Crtl+V? That would do it in WinBoard, which of course doesn't necessarily mean it would do it in Arena, but it is pretty much a standard keystroke for 'paste from clipboard' in any application...

I had try but it doesn't work.

So except having a pgn to open moves, i don't know how to do to copy paste moves. Very boring to don't have this and surprising in a soft.

Still no help yet, djort?

Menu: Game --> Get PGN from Clipboard

(or Shift + F6)

Still no answer Teja.

Thanks Escherehcse but this working when you have already a pgn,

I just want to copy-paste texte (a list moves like 1.e4 e5 * without creating a pgn).

It with working with chessbase, schredder but how with arena, please ??

Interesting.

If you paste this it appears to work:

[Result "*"]
1.e4 e5

Would that be a solution?

Adding a header doesn't change. Still not working in arena.

Strange.... It works fine here in Arena 3.0

I have arena 3 too.

Are we ok with what we do ?

I select with the mouse the text  :

[Result "*"]
1.e4 e5

then i copy (ctrl+c)

then in arena i paste (control + v)

Almost

It's:

[Result "*"]
1.e4 e5

Copy

Then in Arena shift + F6 (and then of course click "Load"), or Menu: Game --> Get PGN from Clipboard as posted above by EscherehcsE

Thanks, it is working but i have to cancel first " the shift+f6 " window then open again this window to be able to paste....well, not important it is nice like this.

Thanks you very much all three for these posts.

You don't need a pgn file. Just copy the moves and press Shift + F6. (And then of course, Load.) You can add a header if you want, but you don't need one.

Yes, thanks i have understand now.

My mistake was to copy the text with ctrl+c and not right click mouse. Arena doesn't recognize the short cut with text (with pgn is it ok).

I'm using Arena 3.0 but I can't highlight more than 1 move and if I right click there is no option to copy. 

I'd really like to be able to copy and paste the text of analysis lines at the bottom for some of the puzzles I add to tactics trainer. Can anybody help please?

I've experienced the same problem listed above. Before any copy/paste, just click the "Edit" button (Arena 3.5).

Someone said, "Menu: Game --> Get PGN from Clipboard (or Shift + F6)"

This worked for me.  I copied a pgn I got from chess.com & then opened Arena, hit Shift + F6 and viola... there it was.
