It seems to work on both clipboards from tests I just performed here. Once installed, you get a system tray icon that is green in the center. Green means strip the formatting. If you click the icon once, the green turns to red, which means the HOVtext tool is disabled and the clipboard works as normal. Click again and it's back to green. That makes it easy to go back and forth from normal behavior to clean text behavior. I love it!

But does it acually work for copying and pasting strictly within FM (which uses its own internal clipboard, not the Windows clipboard)? Or is it strictly for Windows clipboard operations, such as pasting something from another application into FM (which the maker.ini setting controls)? Thanks! Richard ------ Richard G.
