how to copy from PS and paste into IR

I am using Mac OSX 10.3.5 and Adobe CS. I have tried this several times
without luck. I looked in the preferences and didn't see any enabling
function. I can copy a selection out of Imageready and paste it, but I can
not copy a selection out of PS and paste it into IR. The Edit>Paste command
is grayed out. Any ideas?

Why not just use the Jump to IR button at the bottom of the tools palette?

You are making a new document in ImageReady first to Paste into, right?

Actually, I have a file in IR with slices. I can make a selection from the
slices and I can't do that in Photoshop. The files I want to copy and paste
from are all PS. I guess I can open them in IR. But still, why can't I cut
from a PS file and paste in IR. It seems so simple but I can't get it to work.

:( Hate to suggest this, but 1) is the PS file 16-bit? or 2) are you on the
correct layer in PS?

You didn't answer my question re: Are you making a new document in IR to
paste into? It works fine for me.

Sorry I didn't answer. Here is the scenario.

I begin with a file in PS. I switch it to IR and slice it.

I open several files in PS. Select all, Copy, go to IR, paste is grayed
out. If I create a new document in PS the image will paste in that.

I don't use 16 bit colors and I am on the background layer in PS when I
copy. I can not get anything copied from PS to paste into IR.
