Not able to use the clipboard with HTML5 deployment

[Terry Judd]

So, I want to copy the formatted text from my LC HTML5 app to a text field
in another webpage that is independent of my HTML5 app and over which I
have no control. I don¹t think that¹s possible without using the clipboard
as an intermediary - is it?

Regards,

Terry...
