Best we can do right now is copy & paste from the host machine to the keyboard into a document. i.e. it breaks modern day data transfer of a document to LOS from, say your macbook pro.

Something you can do is use the Text Reader app from the Toolkit Examples. You can then copy / paste the text into LisaWrite.

Nah, no need for the extra step, I can paste directly to the "keyboard" via LisaEm's Edit/Paste to Keyboard menu item directly into LisaWrite, but would have been better if we could directly convert and upload a document from, say, .rtf or whatever to LisaWrite. (And ofc, there's always the graphics/draw data to consider.)
