Dear code Guru,
What's the difference between paste and paste special (MSword/MSPowerpoint). I have a application which copies image paste to MSWord/MSPowerpoint, my application create enhanced metafile in memory and send to clipboard, and then paste. Using paste special the image ok, but if using paste the vertical text distort. And also do I have way to make my application default paste as paste special.

I will appricate for your help!

Well, the only thing I can say is that MS Word Paste Special allows you to control the format of the pasted content from clipboard. However, MS Office programs use a dedicated clipboard, which allows to keep more than one object into the clipboard.

I agree,Paste special allows you to decide which clipboard format you want to paste,such as you can paste it with EMF Format,but paste is decided by MS Office only.If it finds the clipboard format is bmp not emf,it will paste it as bitmap :)
