Pasting formatted text into Rev fields not possible on OS X

[François Chaplais]

>> interesting test here. Did the same copy paste from appleworks (which is carbon) into rev studio 3.5  (I will upgrade in a few days ;-)) and it kept color, font, style but lost size (which was 48, while the pasted text appeared to between 10 or 12 pt)). When setting the size to 48 inside rev, the text was resized, but the baseline was unchanged, and was much too high.

thanks for pointing this to me. The difference is that now (after allowing variable text height) the baseline is always consistent with the optical text size. However, the size info is lost when pasting is done from AppleWorks; and the optical sizes are different (like a 7% error) between the sources and the rev field.
This is on revstudio 3.5 running on snow leopard 10.6.2.

Very best
