Re: Is it possible to copy and paste html links from a browser, or MS Word, into a Rev app?
Not sure if it relates, but I have noticed that if I copy something, then launch a Microsoft application and try to paste it, it doesn't work. However, if I already have the Microsoft application running, and copy something from a foreign app, I can then paste it into the MS app. I believe this is because Microsoft takes over the clipboard, to ensure the proper translation of data in the clipboard to a format the MS app will recognize. Could this be what you are running into? Bob On Aug 16, 2010, at 2:18 PM, Jonathan Lynch wrote: Hmmm... All of the applications we use at work (except the ones I create) are microsoft applications.

Re: Is it possible to copy and paste html links from a browser, or MS Word, into a Rev app?
I think that microsoft must put the information into the public clipboard in a non-standard way. The fact that AbiWord can retrieve the link information from the public clipboard tells me that it is in there. AbiWord appears to have been specifically designed to be compatible with MS word, so AbiWord's developers might have deliberately wrote in code to access components of the clipboard that have been microsofticized. Fortunately for me, after talking with the team lead at work for whom this is relevant, I will probably be able to just build a custom interface for their needs, and avoid this issue entirely. If I cannot do that, then I am going to see if it is possible to use Cscript to retrieve microsoftized parts of the clipboard.

Is it possible to copy and paste html links from a browser, or MS Word, into a Rev app?
I am trying to figure out how to copy text that contains a link into a Rev field, such that the link information is preserved. It seems that some formatting, such as bolding, text size, and text font are preserved, but that link information is entirely stripped out. Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something obvious?

Re: Is it possible to copy and paste html links from a browser, or MS Word, into a Rev app?
OK, I verified that I can copy from MS Word into AbiWord - so the link information must be made available in some form. Would RunRev have a means of accessing this? If not, is there something I could do with Cscript or Windows Command Line to access components of the clipboard that are not accessible to RunRev?

Re: Is it possible to copy and paste html links from a browser, or MS Word, into a Rev app?
Hi Jacqueline, I tested this. It is not retaining the link information, either from MS Word or from IE 8. This is true both with RunRev 4.0 and RunRev 2.6.1 - those are the only versions I have to test with. Take care, Jonathan On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 5:54 PM, J.
