I have no issues with this at all. OSX 10.4.11, LC 4.5.3


Text comes over as you would expect. Tabs are there, returns, everything.

Subject: pasting clipboard from Excel


I'm trying to copy some cells from Excel (Mac, 2008 Office version) and paste it 
into a field in LiveCode. If I do that with Numbers all is good. From Excel I 
get nothing.

'the clipboard' tells me that it contains 'text, but that 'the clipboarddata' is 
apparently empty.

If I take a moment to paste the clipboard into another program, I can then go on 
to paste in LiveCode ok.

Is there a way for LiveCode to see the text from Excel without first pasting it 
into another program?
