When using a Microsoft Natural keyboard with Leopard and Parallels with XP I was was able to copy and paste with ALT-C and ALT-P just like when using Leopard and Pages. I installed the new Parallels upgrade for Lion and all still worked well. Then, I upgraded to Lion and lost the copy and paste ability in Parallels. I worked with Parallels Keyboard Preference to make sure the keyboard was set properly and ran Parallels again. Copy and paste worked again. The next day I ran Parallels with XP and copy and paste failed. What I found was that I had to interact with Parallels Keyboard Preferences each time I re-ran Parallels. Does someone know what I am doing wrong or is it a Lion or Parallels problem? Joe
