Colin..
I have no issues with this at all. OSX 10.4.11, LC 4.5.3 Text comes over as you would expect. Tabs are there, returns, everything.

If I do that with Numbers all is good. From Excel I get nothing. 'the clipboard' tells me that it contains 'text, but that 'the clipboarddata' is apparently empty. If I take a moment to paste the clipboard into another program, I can then go on to paste in LiveCode ok. Is there a way for LiveCode to see the text from Excel without first pasting it into another program? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
