I'm confused, how do you know the characters are missing until you
paste the clipboard contents somewhere within LC to render them and
see them?
The clipboardData is already a variable, so examining it to see what was
actually copied should show accurate info. But you do make a good point,
because looking at the variable contents has to put it into a field
somewhere, even if it's only in the variable watcher. It may be the
field rendering that's wrong instead of the clipboard content.
Jonathan, you could test that with something like this:
get the clipboardData["text"]
put numToChar(<whatever Word uses>) is in it
If the message box shows true, then the characters are in there but the
field isn't rendering them. You can then do a replace looking for
numToChar(<whatever>) and replacing those with regular apostrophes.
There was a bug in the database about copying text from Word. It was
fixed and closed some time ago, but if the above doesn't work I think
you should enter another bug report about it.
