Alexander,

I will look into this. In the meantime I got a little different advice from someone. It´s a little slower but it works. He suggested to copy the text to a new Word document, to save this file as Rich Text, to read this file into a memory variable (FileToStr) and to write its value into the memo field.
It works but I think your solution will be nicer.

Thanks,
Ron Brahma

>>I have a Word document that contains a table. I need to copy data from this table to Word. Creating a Word instance and moving through the table is no problem. The problem starts when copying data from Word to VFP.

>>The problem now is that I need to read the ´exact´ content of the clipboard. I need to do this because I need the rich text content of the cell. This means that using _cliptext is out of the question. How can I read the content of the clipboard (as rtf) so I can store the value in a vfp-variable.
