Any idea if WordLib handles OSX Word 2004?
So far I've focused primarily on documents created by Word 2007 and up
for Windows. Next in line, I'll be testing documents from Word 2008 for Mac!
I assume that Word 2004 Mac is similar to 2003 Windows. I would expect
it to import fairly well on
I don't think the OS X developer group at Microsoft communicate much with the
Windows developer group.

have to recreate with AppleScript if I were to upgrade. Can't quite fathom

Yes, you're right. When it went through the list, that was apparently
Bottom line: Microsoft does not play well with Livecode's clipboard. Other apps
are fine.
Why not use WordLib? Sounds like an ideal scenario for it.
Current release is ANSI but next release (almost there) has very
accurate Unicode! Tested with many languages.

Thanks Bob & Mark. Bob's fix sounds like the ticket. As to whether I'd blame
Microsoft or RunRev, my first inclination is to blame Microsoft. However,
this is the third time I've had to retool for different handling of
characters like the em dash over several updates of RunRev/LiveCode, always

Pasting from Office applications has been discussed in length in prior threads,
but the gist of it is, Microsoft maintains their own internal clipboard to
