  • I have this exact same problem, could any one please tell how to copy clipboard content to defect fields like description using OTA API and VBA code?

I don't use QC, but I've run across other apps that won't accept formatted text (or more often, there's something in the formatting they don't like, so they reject the entire paste command).

I run a utility called PureText that enables me to paste the plain-text version of any clipboard text with a single keystroke (I use Win-v). It saves me from the notepad paste conversion routine.

  • Thanks, this is an acceptable workaround while waiting for a real solution.

  • I was very frustrated with a very similar problem only a few days ago. In particular, when pasting data from Excel into Outlook, or from the web into Outlook, I don't want to have to whip out the format painter, or wait for it to render the formatted text just for me to remove all its formatting anyway. It works 'as expected' right out of the box. Very nice.
