You could see if the unwanted style info appears in the htmlText ot the styledText, and delete it from there I suppose. Sounds messy.

It sounds like you want the pasted text to leave behind any source

Right?

Not quite.  I want to keep font, italic, bold,size, and the like, which I'm
able to process.

But things like line numbering and line spacing from word seem to come in,
but I can't find anything in the docs to clear them.

I check for "mixed" for pasting in that has mixed size/font to deal with
manually, and otherwise set a custom property so that it can reset.


During the paste, have you tried putting the clipboardData["text"] into a
variable, then putting the variable into the field? (Or set the text of the
selectedChunk to the variable)  That should get rid of any and all text
properties. Then if your problem is still there, it's probably invisible
text characters or some such thing - not text props at least.

That loses the formatting that I need, though.

Is there some way to find/parse what style info has been set on the field?
Or documentation or a list of what these properties can be?

thanks
