Re: Minor htmlText bug

Don't know if its related or not but is the textfont of the fld you are 
pasting into, the same as the font of the text being pasted? Try 
setting the textfont of the field to something different and see if it 
doesn't force the htmltext to include font info.

The problem is this. I notice that the first few letters got all mixed

The trick I use is to make sure that the font face attribute that I 
want will be included is to paste the rtftext from the clipboard to a 
field that does not have the same font type as the result I would like 
included in the  font face attribute. Try picking a really minimally 
used font type for your  clipboard to a field procedure if you want to 
get most of the font face attributes included.

hth,
