I played around with Yvan's suggestion. Using AppleScript, you can forget
about the 'rtfd' data. However, you can either write the 'RTF ' data to a
file (with an .rtf extension) or push it back to the clipboard, but that's
about it. But then, maybe that's all you need.
-- get RTF from clipboard
set clipboardRec to the clipboard as record
set richText to «class RTF » of clipboardRec
-- or in one line
set richText to «class RTF » of (the clipboard as record)
-- write RTF to file
set f to open for access file "Disk:Users:stanc:Desktop:Test.rtf" ¬
with write permission
write richText to f
close access f
-- push RTF back to clipboard
set the clipboard to richText
Also, though I've not used it, there's a scriptable application named
Journler that appears to be able to retrieve and modify the color, size, and
font of rich text within the context of a personal journal. Of course, with
no personal experience with the software, I can't vouch for its
functionality. I mention it in case you want to investigate further.
HTH,
