Styled text pasting

[Jesse Sng]

I'm trying to paste styled text that could be copied from a word 
processor or some other app over into a stack. How do I do that?

I'm familiar with the htmlText trick, but assuming that I can only 
get access to the styled text from eg. AppleWorks - is there a way to 
directly paste the text into an editing field?

I am using it to generate html code in the final output, but my 
source is going to be styled text from other apps and I do not have 
the luxury of being able to first have it converted to html before 
being pasted into the editing field.
