Tell the field how to display the file content:

Use WordLib - available in the RunREv Store under Add-ons. It works great!

Jim,
get shell("textutil -convert rtf" && quote & "path/to/file.docx" & quote)
This will produce a file path/to/file.rtf, which you can read with LiveCode.

Is there a way, within LC, to obtain the copy and paste formatting, perhaps
with an imbedded AppleScript?
