Re: clipboarddata["html"] problem

Hi Peter, Why doesn't the htmlText of the field get onto the clipboard? I recently discovered that, after "select text of fld "suchField" : 1 - put the selectedText into fld "essai" -->> doesn't keep format when paste 2 - put the selection into fld "essai" -- >> idem 3 - set the clipboardData["text"] to the selectedText -->> idem 4 - set the clipboardData["text"] to the selection -- >> idem BUT : 5 - copy the selectedText -->> paste in Word remains formatted 6 - copy the selection -- >> remains formatted (Mac G4 ; 0SX 10.2.8 ; RR ; Word 10.1.0) Best regards from Grenoble André Why in the world should the default text properties of the stack have any effect here?

Why doesn't the htmlText of the field get onto the clipboard? Why in the world should the default text properties of the stack have any effect here? When you set the text properties of a field, the text it contains has no styling of its own, it uses inheritance of the field's properties to give an appearance of styling. Therefore, when you copy that text, there is no particular htmltext assigned to it. To fix that, set the styling of the actual characters in the text itself, which does assign html properties to the text: set the textfont of char 1 to -1 of fld "formatPrintText" \ to "Bookman Old Style" set the textsize of char 1 to -1 of fld "formatPrintText" to 10 This should give the results you are looking for. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
