James, Dragan,

Thanks for the reply to all of you.

I cannot use "any text you like" because I need to get it from clipboard. And _cliptext does not work giving ?????? characters or inproper character set representation.

Only CTRL+V works, but in manual mode only. Therefore I posted the question.

Finally I gave up and used editbox and underlying temporary table with binary memofield. Then I was able to insert into table values (_cliptext) and display text properly in the editbox.
Interesting enough binary character field does not work properly here.

Though solution seems is found, still it would be good to have answers to two questions:
- how to paste into RTF control programmatically, and
- why binary character field does not work here the same way as binary memo field.

Regards
