Reporter: Are you still seeing this bug in recent builds?

it's the same , i have the 2002020406 version of mozilla , i always can't paste myexcel's selection

i use the new mozilla 0.9.9 version 2002031104 and i have the same problem , i can't copy and paste a excel's cell

reassign to editor

Confirming on W2K 2002032203, in HTML compose mode but not plain text mode. Presumably in HTML mode the data should be pasted in a table?

adding this to the editor embedding meta bug. various applications that use Gecko embedded editor for composition (for mail composition as an example) lose this ability which they had in IE. The same problem likely exists for drag/drop. pinkerton and I had a brief discussion about this in the drag/drop context, and this appears to be a matter of handling whatever format (CF_HTML maybe?) excel is representing. I wonder if excel *and* word (both microsoft products) on win32 use the same format?

Cc pinkerton@netscape.com and brade@netscape.com. pinkerton, so is this a backend copy/paste bug? Who should get it?

well, if it's just us not handling CF_HTML, it's a dupe of another bug i have. however, i don't see any code that advertises that we understand CF_HTML to anyone in mozilla, so if it doesn't paste in an html compose, it's editor code not doing the right thing. i'd say this bug should go to someone on editor.
