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
Oooo! Thanks so much; nice to be wrong sometimes.
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.

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.
I set up an option menu in my app that allows the user to set the font property
in a text field. I have another button that allow the user to paste the text
into a document. However, when I test the app on a Mac and paste into a Pages
document, I do not get the font that was selected in the button. Despite
setting the font in the text field as Palatino I keep getting Times New Roman
when it is pasted into the Pages document! How can I correct this?
