Yes, the clipboard is a problem from StarBasic !
In effect, at least in calc I would try to "translate" clipboard calls with 
copyRange API calls

This should cover almost cases because the recorder does not record between 
different documents and in addition, I think that many of the clipboard 
operations that the user want to record, deal with simple ranges.
This is obviously a compromise but in my mind it should be acceptable.

It is a great help!!
Thank you very much for taking the time.
