Thanks!
This is a bit elephant, but it requires no setup and it works.
My previous via-pdf approach was to export a .pdf from OpenOffice, but
for some reason Windows Adobe Acrobat Reader refused to load the .pdf
file + it didn't work for e.g. Evolution.
All we need now is a "xwinps2pdf" utility :-) Beats me how to go about
this in a generic, no options, no setup way though.
I don't think xwinclip supports copy & paste of files...
