Clipboard formats priorities

[David Shaked (Wernick)]

Thanks for the information, Fred.

I would like to revise my original question. My primary need is not to paste
text. It is to paste variables, as follows:

1. Insert a variable in a particular location. The variable contains the
product name or other branding information.

2. Copy the variable.

3. Use find/change by pasting to insert the variable in hundreds of other
locations. In all cases, the variable should assume the formatting of the
target location.

Is there a way to do it? (Currently, we plan to use FrameScript. We can save
effort if there is a out-of-the-box approach.)

But there *are* a couple of free Windows utilities you can use
to strip formatting from copied content under any circumstance,
including intra-FrameMaker copy and paste. At the moment I'm 
using a tool called PureText by Steve P. Miller, but there are
several other choices, too.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
