How do I paste a picture into Fathom?

Copy the picture you wish to paste into Fathom. In Fathom, make sure no objects in your document are selected (click in a blank area), and choose Paste Picture from the Edit menu.

I copied a picture, but it doesn't paste into Fathom. How come?

Under Windows

To paste a picture into Fathom, the picture must be in what is called "metafile" format. You are probably copying from an application that does not support this format. What you can do is first paste into an application that does support metafiles (Microsoft Word, for example), then copy from that application, and paste into Fathom.

Under Mac OS

Pictures may require lots of memory. Make sure you have allocated enough memory to Fathom by selecting the Fathom program icon in the Finder and choosing Get Info from the File command. You can determine how much memory has been allocated to Fathom and increase it.
