Sorry, the clipBoardData is a property, of course:
on mouseup
get the clipBoardData
if the hilite of the target then set the clipBoardData to it & return & the short name of the target --"name" option
if the hilite of the target then set the clipBoardData to it & return & the yourProp of the target --"name" option
-- this does not handle unchecking. Does this matter? A somewhat larger issue.
end mouseUp

Charles.
I don't know how your data is set up. Do you have fields associated with each
checkBox? Is the name of the checkBox the actual statement? Or perhaps a
property of each checkBox holds the statement?
Anyway, if you have a few checkBox buttons, each with a behavior or maybe a
mouseUp handler in the card:
on mouseup
if the hilite of the target then put the short name of the target after the
clipBoardData --"name" option
if the hilite of the target then put the yourProp of the target after the
clipBoardData --"property" option
-- this does not handle unchecking. Does this matter? A somewhat larger issue.
end mouseUp
And in another button:
on mouseUp
open file "yourFile"
write the clipboardData to file "yourFile"
close file "yourFile"
end mouseup

Subject: Copying and pasting text into a word processing document
I have completed a number of projects with Rev but none has every involved
creating an app that copies text to a clipboard to paste into a word processing
document.
I want to code an small utility app where the user selects statements by
checking a checkbox for each statement so that it is put into the clipboard
where the user can then paste them into a word document. I do not want to
reinvent the wheel to code this. Any suggestions on how to do this? By the way,
I am using Rev 4.0.
