Copying from MS word into RunRev 4.0

[Jonathan Lynch]

I just tried it, but no success.

I copied a bunch of apostrophes from Word, and used a button that puts the
clipboarddata["html"] into a field. All the field shows is "<p></p>" - all
of the apostrophes were omitted, even though I can paste them into Notepad.

Do you have any other suggestions? I will try them all.

Unfortunately, all elements in the clipboarddata array do not have the
missing characters - I tried them.

I just worked out a technique using VBScript and IE rather than Word, and it
works fine, but is no faster than the method I was using with Word.

Are there any externals available that might be useful?
