Thanks for your help! I did get it working using your suggestions below:
set the textFont of character 1 to -1 of field "statement" to "Times New Roman"
set the clipboardData["rtf"] to the rtfText of field "statement"
I also tried the following to get the font size but it did not worked.
1. Continuing the discussion about the clipboard, I am offering to this
thread a test stack I created to satisfy my curiosity about the clipboard
contents array. This stack can be used to examine the copied data from any
application. It can examine without pasting if one uses the 'show keys'

days or thereabouts) that would allow you to manipulate the contents of the
clip after copying, with a huge variety of options: text functions like
changing case, font, size, unwrapping "hard" lines, etc., and IIRC also
I don't think you can set the font and size of the clipboarddata directly. Have
you tried changing the font and size of the field itself before copying?
Another thing you can try is pasting into Textedit and see if the font and size

to the rtftext of the field, but what you do to the field after that is
irrelevant to the clipboard.

Mark,
I tried your suggestion:
set the clipboardData["rtf"] to the rtfText of field "statement"

Hi Charles,
Did you see my reply to your previous e-mail? Try setting the font of the text
to one different from the font of the field. E.g. set the font of the field to
Arial and the font of char 1 to -1 of the field to Time New Roman. Use

text and place it on the clipboard and paste into a word processor's document.
I set up an option menu in my app that allows the user to set the font property
