Format of pasted text

[Graham Samuel]

It seems that if I get some unformatted text onto the clipboard and paste 
it into a field in a stack, it is formatted (in my case as 16 point Arial - 
entirely inappropriate for what I want). Anyone know why this happens or 
how I can prevent it?

While I'm talking about 'paste', I put a button onto a card whose script was

  on mouseUp
    paste
  end mouseUp

With the browse tool active and some text on the clipboard, I clicked in a 
field on the card and immediately clicked the button, but the paste didn't 
happen. OTOH clicking in the field and then doing CTRL-V did result in a 
paste. It seems I lost my insertion point when I clicked the button. Why 
was that, and how can I make it work? After all, clicking the button is 
pretty much like choosing 'paste' as a menu item, isn't it?

TIA

Graham
