Hi iPad :-) Have you made sure that the field font is not Time New Roman and have you used the syntax
set char 1 to -1 of fld x to "Times New Roman" ? How do you copy? You might want to use set the clipboarddata["rtf"] to the rtfText of fld x or maybe set the clipboarddata["html"] to the htmlText of fld x instead of using the text property of the field or even selecting the text and using the copy command (although the latter might work). Does it work if you copy manually? There might be some AppleScript commands that make Pages paste formatted text. I don't uses Pages, but if there is a menu item "Paste Formatted Text" (or similar) then you might also use GUI scripting. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Get the extIco2Png external for LiveCode here http://qery.us/1w6 On 20 apr 2012, at 13:00, Charles Szasz wrote: > I am working on an app that the user keeps open on the desktop that can take > text and place it on the clipboard and paste into a word processor's > document.
