Hello,

Does anyone know how to tell the cipboard to accept RTF into the
clipboard? I think I have all the steps but one.. has anyone done
this:

1. copied text into a separate area.
2. reformatted text into rtf format.
2. copied.holdtext.createTextRange();
3 . copied.execCommand("copy"); (only for ie)

but when I paste it still comes out as pure text.. not RTF... what am
I missing.

any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by RTF format. However, a range object will
accept this method - execCommand("Copy"). For example, the following
external JS if called by IE will copy the selected page content as
rich text - same as pressing Ctrl+C.

var pwin = external.menuArguments;
var doc = pwin.document;
var sel = doc.selection;
var rng = sel.createRange();

rng.execCommand("Copy");

Open MS Word and do a Paste to check out the results.

Thank you BWig,

I just need to know if you know what format to place instead of "Text"

window.clipboardData.setData("Text", rng.htmlText);

I need it to show up in the clipboard as Rich Text only.

Thanks for any help
