No not really. It works for you because Parallels is doing a clipboard
translation itself, so the quote survives. It would be the same thing as first
pasting into a Rich Text Editor, recopying, and then pasting into Livecode.
That always works.

Jonathan, I've just copied & pasted 'it's' (with a curly single right-hand
quote) from Word 2010 (Windows) on my Parallels VM into TextWrangler on my Mac
and the curly quote character survives intact. So, for me, Word export and the
clipboard are working OK.
I repeated this with Word into a ne

Unfortunately, I do not have that control.
this is for coworkers to be able to paste specific chunks of text into a
message repository. They all work in MS Word, then will copy and past into
the application. It would look weird if i told them they have to not use
Word because my application can't
...if you have control overt the Word environment, I think I'd look into
enforcing straight quotes prior to export. It's an options/preferences setting
and I seem to remember it being possible to set all quotes to straight, via a
command - so that HTML export doesn't get corrupted.
Good luck!

Jonathan, check that you have the useUnicode property set to true in your

Hi Keith,
The characters are entitely absent from the clipboarddata["html"] and every
other element of the clipboard array.
Are there other means of accessing the clipboard besides using the
clipboarddata or paste operations?

It might be worth avoiding pasting into an LC field (LC fields can be awkward
when working with formatted text such as HTML/XML as they interpret some tags).
It might be worth an experiment to
1) paste the clipboard contents into an LC variable, instead of a field
2) set custom property to the va
I am thinking that this could be accomplished with a hidden RevBrowser stack
that points to an HTML page that has nothing but a single text area.
typing ^v ^a ^c into the browser text area would get me the clipboard text
in a clean fashion, and be much faster than how I do it now.
Will update if

I copied a bunch of apostrophes from Word, and used a button that puts the
clipboarddata["html"] into a field. All the field shows is "" - all
of the apostrophes were omitted, even though I can paste them into Notepad.
Do you have any other suggestions? I will try

Even with both apps open, it omits apostrophes when i paste from Word to

If I paste it into notepad first, then copy and paste from notepad into Rev,
it works fine without dropping characters.

You could probably do the reverse of what I am doing.
That is, you could create an HTML file with the proper unicode text, then
use VBScript (if you are using Windows) to create an invisible word document
and open up the HTML file. Then, do selection.wholestory and selection.copy.
