I have no idea if this will be of any use to you or not, but... I do not generally use the API using Python so I cannot comment on using Python.
I have also not used headless mode so I cannot comment on what is and is not available other than knowing that dispatches are not available. Finally, I have done almost nothing using the clipboard, but... First note that the clipboard should have content of different varieties. I assume that you are aware of this because you have a line as follows: copy_with_format(value, 'text/html') And if I look at the clipboard I see this as an available type Dim sClipName As String Dim oClip As Object Dim oFlavors As Variant Dim oFlavor As Variant Dim i as Integer Dim s as String sClipName = "com.sun.star.datatransfer.clipboard.SystemClipboard" oClip = createUnoService(sClipName) oFlavors = oClip.getContents().getTransferDataFlavors() s = "" For i = LBound(oFlavors) To UBound(oFlavors) oFlavor = oFlavors(i) s = s & i & " : " & oFlavor.MimeType s = s & CHR$(10) Next MsgBox s I see that method defined in this code here: https://github.com/Probesys/lotemplate/blob/html_formatting/lotemplate/utils.py I see that you open a pipe. I did some experiments and I am extracting the actual HTML. I assume that this is not really what you want, but this is how I extract it and display it. I was simply playing around with it out of curiousity. Dim sClipName As String Dim oClip As Object Dim oFlavors As Variant Dim oFlavor As Variant Dim i as Integer Dim idx as Integer Dim s as String sClipName = "com.sun.star.datatransfer.clipboard.SystemClipboard" oClip = createUnoService(sClipName) oFlavors = oClip.getContents().getTransferDataFlavors() s = "" idx = -1 For i = LBound(oFlavors) To UBound(oFlavors) oFlavor = oFlavors(i) s = s & i & " : " & oFlavor.MimeType If oFlavor.MimeType = "text/html" Then idx = i End If s = s & CHR$(10) Next 'MsgBox s If idx < 0 Then Print "text/html mime type not found" Exit Sub End If ' Now print the actual HMTL as a string! Dim oData As Variant oData = oClip.getContents().getTransferData(oFlavors(idx)) s = "" For i = LBound(oData) To UBound(oData) s = s & CHR$(oData(i)) Next MsgBox s If I kept going, then I would attempt to then use the transferable content directly, which is obtained from oClip.getContents() I believe. But, one of the real questions is.... Does the clipboard have the contents shown in the correct format? I assume it does. So, perhaps this helps a little anyway.

It work but it's far from being optimized. here is the code https://github.com/Probesys/lotemplate/blob/html_formatting/lotemplate/classes.py line 349-355 We have try using XTransferable but without any success. Thanks in advance for your help Sorg
