Alexander,
Tnanks for the code. I've just noticed , that you actually had published it.
Any ideas what's involved to fill _cliptext at the same time with stripped tags , effectively what .innertext of Internet Explorer document does , but without using it.
Does it require declaring another format for clipboard ?
Code below allows placing into clipboard simultaneously in html/text format

oie = Createobject( "internetexplorer.application" )
oie.silent = .T.
oie.Visible = .F.
oie.Navigate( "file.htm" )
Do While oie.Busy() && Let the page finish navigating
ENDDO
oie.execWB( 17 , 2 , 0 , 0 )
oie.execWB( 12 , 2 , 0 , 0 )


Thanks
Michael
