I already tried that.  It doesn't work.

The problem is that "copy diagram" seems unaffected by printer setup and page
setup settings in CB8. I was successful in copying six diagrams from CB8 to
Microsoft Word.  By playing with the margin settings in the word processor, I
got all six diagrams to be located in a very attractive arrangement on a page.
It was actually beautiful.  But playing with the CB8 settings you described
above had no affect on the diagrams.  They always appear White on the bottom.
Square numbers are always given, too, and I would like to get rid of them.  It
would also be nice to have the black dot beside the diagram showing side to
move.  All of this can be adjusted when printing games using CB8, but when
copying from CB8 to a word processor, those settings seem to have no effect on
what is copied to the clipboard.

Incidentally, I purchased ChessMaster900 a couple of days ago and the manual for
it says to select courier font in the Word Processor before pasting.  That
essential little piece of information doesn't seem to appear in the online help
files for CB8.  If I had not read the CB900 manual, I wouldn't have known how to
do it using CB8!  [I did not receive a printed manual with CB8.]

If you have time, you might try doing this and see if there is some subtle trick
I'm overlooking.
