If one copies a Word document from within Word and pastes that copy into a LC
field, much of the formatting is retained.
Not so if one just uses: get url file: tFileName
Is there a way, within LC, to obtain the copy and paste formatting, perhaps
with an imbedded AppleScript?
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
get shell(textutil -convert rtf quote path/to/file.docx quote)
This will produce a file path/to/file.rtf, which you can read with LiveCode.

Use WordLib - available in the RunREv Store under Add-ons. It works great!
