Pasting from clipboard wonkiness

W

will f.

Please help.
I have a VB project with a RichTextBox control. I have a copy function which
clears the clipboard and saves the selected rich text to the clipboard.
When I paste into WordPad, the RichText pastes fine.
However, when I paste into Word 2003, all the CarriageReturn/LineFeed
characters (paragraph marks) are removed.
Is this a known issue in Word 2003? Is it a bug? Is there some option I need
to turn off or on?

I am in desperate need of help. Thank you.

How are you pasting your data from the clipboard? Are you doing it
programatically or via paste in Word 2003

If the latter, try using paste as (and paste as rich text..), if that works,
then your can get the code you need to add to a VB app by creating a macro,
recording what the command is when you do your "paste as" then copy it back
to VB (with some modification....)
