Hello Yvan!

And I see it is not that easy. When I scrapped the Plain text first time, then I didn’t see any use of it, nor how deep it goes, as I don’t use MsWord or MsOutlook. :slight_smile:

Shane’s way is a good way too!

I guess it won’t work, even if you added a property of scrap styles:missing value, because, then I think the “default value” for the property will “kick” in as well! :slight_smile:

“scrap styles” looks like a terminology clash: enter “styled Clipboard text” and it compiles to “scrap styles”. My guess is that “set the clipboard” was designed to cope with rich text, and in the absence of styling it adds default attributes. That means there’s unlikely to be a workaround using “set the clipboard”.
