It's no fun in the shallow end

If you look at the Edit Paste Special choices you will see that HTML is
the default (which I presume is what you get from Paste) but you are looking
at the Text from your DataObject. However, the Paste As Unformatted gives
different behaviour in 2000 and 2003. Getting way out of my depth too (I
suspect Graham Mayor may know something of this if he's watching) but I
think there have been changes in conversions to and from text formats
between releases.

An interesting side note - copying a couple of small paragraphs in 2000 (on
ME) gave me 45K of clipboard data. Roughly the same in 2003 (on XP) gave me
about 4.5K.

Have to go out for most of the rest of the day now but I will investigate
some more later.

Tony,

It also seems to be version dependent. The results I reported
yesterday was from Word2003. Same test today in Word2000 the results
are totally different.

In 2000 the Chr(13) are not picked up even when present and the Chr(10)
is not appended.

Selecting the first word "Test" and the second word "Test" without the
paragraph mark returns:

84|101|115|116|84|101|115|116

So if I select "Test" Paragraph Mark "Test" the resultant .GetText
string is "TestTest." I wonder how Word then determines where to put
the paragraph mark back in that string when it performs a paste.

Obviously I am in an area over my head here.
