Hi Hussein, Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I thought that there may be an easy way to override the standard paste behavior with. macro commands. I suppose we will skip that requirement since it is not clear how that functionality should work if there is other data than text before or after the caret.

Of course, it is always possible to specialize the standard Paste command ( http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/cmd/edit/Paste.html ) after reading its source code and to rebind your specialization to Ctrl-V. However, you need to be an experienced Java[tm] programmer to do this and, even in this case, it is not that simple to do it and you can easily break things. Note that having too much whitespace around pasted text is not really a problem as whitespace is automatically normalized each time a document is opened. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
