bug#12469: 24.1; Incorrect sentence; GNU Emacs Manual; Section 12.2 Yanking; 7th paragraph (latest before menu); 2nd sentence; 7th word

[Bruno Félix Rezende Ribeiro]

In GNU Emacs Manual 24.1, section 12.2, entitled "Yanking", 7th
paragraph, the one before menu, there is a incorrect sentence:

"If so, it inserts the text in the clipboard instead."

It should be:

"If so, it inserts the text from the clipboard instead."

Note the changing: "in" -> "from"

In GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10)
 of 2012-08-26 on felix-laptop
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10903000

"In" is correct: the sentence refers means that Emacs

 inserts (the text in the clipboard)

But it's true that this can be misconstrued as meaning

 (inserts the text) (in the clipboard)

But "from" is not quite the right replacement, so I changed it to
"inserts the clipboard's text".  Thanks.
