I just tried it, but no success. 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 "<p></p>" - all of the apostrophes were omitted, even though I can paste them into Notepad.
Do you have any other suggestions? I will try them all. Unfortunately, all elements in the clipboarddata array do not have the missing characters - I tried them. I just worked out a technique using VBScript and IE rather than Word, and it works fine, but is no faster than the method I was using with Word. Are there any externals available that might be useful? On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 1:10 PM, J.
