Problem with pasting from a Rev App to Pages..

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Charles,

Did you see my reply to your previous e-mail? Try setting the font of the text to one different from the font of the field. E.g. set the font of the field to Arial and the font of char 1 to -1 of the field to Time New Roman. Use 

set the clipboardData["rtf"] to the rtfText of field "statements"

or

set the clipboardData["html"] to the htmlText of field "statements"

I set up an option menu in my app that allows the user to set the font property in a text field. I have another button that allow the user to paste the text into a document. However, when I test the app on a Mac and paste into a Pages document, I do not get the font that was selected in the button.
