Jonathan,
That was the answer. I've used this method in other places in the app where I have used my own pasteboard types, but I somehow thought (probably from the name of the method) that I didn't need it if I was using a built-in pasteboard type.
Anyway, thanks again!
Martin

A declareTypes:owner: message essentially changes the contents of the receiver: It invalidates the current contents of the receiver and increments its change count.
