I tried this: *
on* mouseUp *put* the clipboarddata["text"] into ttext *put* chartonum(tTExt) into field "Feedback" * end* mouseUp I ran this after copying a single apostrophe from MS Word, but it came back empty. I do not think it is a problem with the rendering the character. I can paste the character into a textarea in IE, then copy it again and paste it into a field in Rev without any problem. I think that copying from Word does something different than copying from IE. On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 3:28 PM, J.
