It all depends on what data is actually copied to the clipboard and how it is represented. Text can be represented in multiple fashions according to the supplier of the text. Consumers of the clipboard vary according to their capabilities and may not always possess the capability of rendering the clipboard as the supplier intended. This is why HTML copied from a website and rendered only as plain text, appears with all the markup when pasted into something that consumes plain text. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
