Hi Kerry,
I've just run a test using two text members. The text of member("A") is the
same as the scriptText shown below. Member("B") is a copy of member("A").
Here are the results from the Message window:
test
-- "media: 861"
-- "rtf: 2769"
-- "html: 2719"
In this instance, it looks like media is more than three times faster than
the others. In addition, copying the html may not copy fonts correctly.
Cheers,
James
