I don't know how your data is set up. Do you have fields associated with each checkBox? Is the name of the checkBox the actual statement? Or perhaps a property of each checkBox holds the statement? Anyway, if you have a few checkBox buttons, each with a behavior or maybe a mouseUp handler in the card: on mouseup if the hilite of the target then put the short name of the target after the clipBoardData --"name" option if the hilite of the target then put the yourProp of the target after the clipBoardData --"property" option -- this does not handle unchecking. Does this matter? A somewhat larger issue. end mouseUp And in another button: on mouseUp open file "yourFile" write the clipboardData to file "yourFile" close file "yourFile" end mouseup Craig -----Original Message----- From: Charles Szasz <csz...@mac.com> To: use-livecode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Sun, Mar 4, 2012 2:47 pm Subject: Copying and pasting text into a word processing document I have completed a number of projects with Rev but none has every involved creating an app that copies text to a clipboard to paste into a word processing document. I want to code an small utility app where the user selects statements by checking a checkbox for each statement so that it is put into the clipboard where the user can then paste them into a word document. I do not want to reinvent the wheel to code this. Any suggestions on how to do this? By the way, I am using Rev 4.0.
