Is there a quick way to copy/paste a game-score pgn to view it in Fritz 9? Or will I need to use a pgn viewer like icc's?

Fritz can open the pgn. Just go to File open and then choose all files or pgn extension.

Thanks for quick reply but I don't think I worded my question correctly as I still can't figure this out.

What I meant is, if I simply highlight and copy a game-score text (from the text format as often seen in the threads - see below).
Is there a quick an easy method to get it displayed in Fritz 9 as is? Otherwise, what would be the the quickest method? Will I have to have to copy the game text to a folder first, if so how do I save the text as .pgn format so Fritz can access it?

Currently I use the ICC pgn tool to copy paste the text into. ie..

Fritz 10 has menu > Edit > Paste Game or Position. His question was unclear because he mentioned ICC/pgn viewer. If he wanted to save the game in pgn format he could open notepad paste and then file save as all files "example.pgn".

GUIs like Arena, Fritz and Winboard all have the ability to paste pgns or fens although this feature is broken in the new Arena beta.

Ah, this is just what I was hoping for!
