I would like to copy a field and paste it into a word
document - and retain the text format. Can this be
done in metacard? I can copy and paste fine but the
formating is lost.
I think this is inevitable, but if there is a way to
copy text by hand or programmatically such that it

I copied a card from a stack that was originally created in Hypercard.
When I pasted the card into another Metacard stack, new created fields -
created after the pasting - still require to be addressed with "card
field".
Is there a possibility to "convert" the pasted card to get rid of the

Hi every1,
As a recent (very enthusiastic!) convert to Metacard from Hypercard in the
