I had problems too.  The same situation as Xavier described. Copying  
html text to clipboard within revolution, pasting it within another  
application (Excel or Word). I ended up using clipboarddata["rtf"]  
when I needed to copy formatted text.

No intention to revive the "hum" agressive dialog on this. My  
understanding is that Mark never mentioned successful testing of this  
situation... the situation is copying some formatted text in  
revolution, using:

     set the clipboardData["html"] to somehtml

then pasting it into another application. The doc doesn't clearly  
mention whether this can be expected to work (after all, the html in  
rev is pseudohtml, not complete html).
