------- Additional comments from john...@openoffice.org Sat Aug 14 10:43:15 +0000 2010 ------- jsc Have you found out who looks after the Clipboard? I have been digging, and it appears that it might be a Windows 7 and Vista problem with the clipboard. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749442%28WS.10%29.aspx which says there are several issues with MS Clipboard and offers fixes for it. eg the site says: When the copy or paste operation does not function properly, the fix called EmptyClipboardtoSet fixes applications that call the SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT) function without first emptying the Clipboard. Also, I saw in another post ( http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28669&p=151107#p151107 ) that OO apparently does not use the new changed, Clipboard format as below: In short, OpenOffice writer does not generate the correct CF_HTML format to put into the clipboard. According to HTML Clipboard Format (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649015(VS.85).aspx), the HTML comments <!--StartFragment--> and <!--EndFragment--> need to be present in the data: The fragment should be preceded and followed by the HTML comments <!--StartFragment--> and <!--EndFragment--> (no space allowed between the !-- and the text) to conveniently indicate where the fragment starts and ends. Thus the start and end of the fragment are indicated by the presence of these comments and by StartFragment and EndFragment byte counts in the description. Tools are expected to produce this information. This redundancy has been introduced to be able to rapidly find the start of the fragment (from the byte count) and mark the position of the fragment directly in the HTML tree. However, OpenOffice writer does not respect this and produce the HTML format data without the required comments, like the following: Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000168 EndHTML:0000000656 StartFragment:0000000591 EndFragment:0000000639 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> ... </HEAD> <BODY LANG="en-US" DIR="LTR"> <P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><B>Foo</B></P> </BODY> </HTML> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
