I appreciate that we have the flexibility to do arcane things with the

Here is a function for Windows that will replace with and include

The problem in this case is the HTML format data (and possibly RTF) on the
clipboard. Testing in Windows, if I just put the LC styled text and plain
text on the clipboard, it works to get plain text outside of LC but retain
formatting inside. If I try to paste the RTF or LC data into Excel, I just

*unlock* the clipboard
*end* strip

the ClipBoardData to empty” - that seemed to be necessary at least in LC 8.1.3
with Mac OS X 10.12.8 Sierra which I have to
