Paste Code to Match Existing Formatting

[charles61]

Igor,

Thanks. I am aware of but was wondering how to script this in LiveCode to do this automatically. In the past, I have an option menu where the use could select font and font size for pasting from an app to a word processing document.

The difference being, that if you select the normal "Paste", it will paste your text *exactly* as it was copied - ie., with the format (font, size, etc.) the way it was copied originally. If you select "Paste and Match Style", then it will ignore the formatting of the text on the clipboard, and will force it to follow the formatting of the document where you're pasting it.
