I have a Custom HTML Prompt that shows a report with a Copy button. The same report needs to paste correctly into three applications: Word, Excel and TextEdit. Word and Excel both read the HTML version off the clipboard and behave well. TextEdit is the problem. TextEdit needs RTF, because when it i…
