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 see all the characters they type.
what I am doing now works, I just hate the delay upon pasting. I blame Microsoft, because this is obviously intentional in some fashion. I think it would be good, though, for RunRev to have a way to access to the full text despire Microsoft's attempt to hide it. thanks for all of your thoughts on this, Keith. If you have any more suggestions, I am open to them.
