I work in MS Excel extensively, copy pasting text between it and
Revolution.
I experience problems with the Rev IDE when I copy-paste text from MS
Excel into the IDE, on OS X. Like:
- script won't compile
- find and replace dialog won't find correctly
- answer dialog won't properly display text stored in a custom property

Hi Alex,

The problem can be caused by some < numtochar(0) > characters left in
the text by any text editor. May be there are others, but this is the 
one
I could catch.
In the script editor you can produce the same effect :
   produce a little handler which will "apply"
   type for example a circumflex or umlaut followed by a tab
   then delete the character produced by this
   and try to "apply" again
   if done "correctly" it will throw the error

then copy the text of the script into a fld
and run the following handler:
on mouseUp
  get fld "test"
  repeat  for each char i in it
    put chartonum(i) & space after a
  end repeat
  put a into fld "test"
end mouseUp
