I don't know what I've done, but now when I copy text from word to grid I got:

<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:
EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA'>WALNUT & GLASS PARTITIONS INCLUDING (21)
SINGLE WALNUT VENEER S.C. DOORS TYPE A IN WALNUT FRAMES & (2) WALNUT</span>

instead of:

GLASS PARTITIONS INCLUDING (21)
SINGLE WALNUT VENEER S.C. DOORS TYPE A IN WALNUT FRAMES & (2) WALNUT

Thanks,

Jay

Ah! yes... I've added support for HTML clipboard copy. I'll add a paste>>paste as text and paste>>paste as HTML menus.

In the meantime, you need to paste it in notepad and then into IQ

Also -- I can't copy & paste cells in grid the way I used to (and liked: 1-click=fast) -- probably related to the same cause.

Thanks,

Jay

there's been a new release a couple hours ago fixing that :-) Version 0.9.25PreRel16 is now released !

Yes this is because IQ used to copy only plain text, it seems, but Pierre included the ability to preserve some of the original formatting -- italic, bold, underlined, as described in the announcement for the new version.

Howerver, the problem is that other tags are there too, but unused by IQ's grid.

Pierre : IMO this feature shouldn't be implemented at this point. It's useful when coyping from grid to HTML pane, but not the reverse as there are too many useless tags getting in the way and polluting the copy/paste process

In pre-rel17, paste now paste as text (as it did prior to pre-rel14). Paste Special>>Paste as HTML is used to paste HTML into the grid
