I wonder if anyone can easily provide an example statement that sets a
variable of unicode text to the general pasteboard (ie. system
clipboard) in a way that includes a TEXT part along with the UTXT
part.

set s to "something" as Unicode text set the clipboard to {text:(s as string), Unicode text:s}

Oh, that's good! For purposes of Word, I believe that it's better to lie and
enter Unicode text for text flavor as well, however:


set s to "something" as Unicode text
set the clipboard to {text:s, Unicode text:s}

That's what Word does itself, I'm told.

Fantastic, Chris. A thousand thank-you's. It's working perfectly, and I can leave the general handler in this format and now don't have to make a special case for Word.
