IMPORTANT: This will only work with email clients that will accept rich text from the system clipboard. If you are accessing your email through a web browser like Safari then this probably won't work. You will need to attach a PDF to your email or add a link to your email that points to the document you have shared with ScreenSteps.me or your own FTP/SFTP server.

Thunderbrid has a bug that doesn't allow it to accept RTF data from the clipboard, only plain text.

Dear Blue Mango,

Can I paste the RTF Clarify generates into Gmail? I am using Google Apps for Enterprise on a Macbook Pro running Firefox 27 on Mac OS X 10.7.5 and can't get it to work. I know the RTF is on the clipboard because I was able to successfully paste it from there into TextEdit, just not into Gmail. Any advice? Thank you.

@Tom - I can't paste in Firefox either. Chrome didn't work but Safari did. Perhaps Firefox and Chrome just don't support pasting rich text?
