Thanks Andre -- this solves the practical problem (except for Word's inability to actually paste size 10 text in any font -- ah, Microsoft!) -- it gives the proper formatting as specified in the formatting field.
I'm still curious about the failure of the htmltext function to include font & size info. Is the documentation just plain wrong? -- Peter M.

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 _______________________________________________ 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
