I think the pasteKey message is what you want. Note that the IDE traps it,
so you won't receive it there but it works in a standalone or when you

That would let me trap it, and I'm resigned to that (just another button, I
suppose). But is there any sane way to deal with the text?
You wouldn't necessarily need a button, pasteKey is a message. Grab the
clipboardData and process it. If you're in LC 7.x try textDecode, in
previous versions we used this, which usually works with Word text:
function utf8decode pString
return unidecode(uniencode(pString,"UTF8"))
end utf8decode
So something like this either in the field script or in the message path:
on pasteKey
get the clipboardData
put utf8decode(it) into fld <whatever>
end pasteKey
