I did some experiments and couldn't get KWrite to reliably write 300 kbytes of data into anything, including xclipboard, I think either Qt or KWord probably has (yet another) clipboard bug. Please try upgrading to the latest stable KDE version and if it still happens consider reporting it as a bug to the KDE / KWrite maintainers. While doing these tests I repeatedly crashed Gnumeric 1.4.3 so there may be some bugs at that end too, but I haven't time to reproduce them on 1.6.1 any time soon. BTW Yes, there are restrictions on the maximum size of object which can be usefully communicated through an X server with UTF8_STRING or similar but I doubt 250kb of text exceeds those restrictions on a modern PC.
