I have been testing this and I can't seem to reproduce the problem. :(

As for the ignored programs option, that really only applies to auto-scrubbing. If you use the HotKey to scrub the text you are forcing ClipboardFusion to scrub the text regardless of which application put the text there. ]]> RE: Scrubbing Formatted Text From An Excel Spreadsheet... https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/scrubbing-formatted-text-from-an-excel-spreadsheet/?ID=2df6fc46-c6fc-46b9-800b-e12e641babf4#8 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:08:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/scrubbing-formatted-text-from-an-excel-spreadsheet/?ID=2df6fc46-c6fc-46b9-800b-e12e641babf4#8 ClipboardFusion

Which scrubbing options are you using, and do you have anything entered on the "Text Replace" tab?


Well, I did some experimentation. If I close CF completely, and cut and paste formatted text from a cell into Eudora, it comes out fine. No double quotes, no color, just the text.

If I enable CF, and select "Scrub Clipboard text automatically", "Show message", "Scrub HTML", and just cut and paste formatted text from Excel into Eudora, the text looks fine - No double quotes, no color, just the text.

But, if I enable a Hot Key (Control 4) to Scrub Text and copy text from Excel, Hit the Hot Key, and then paste into Eudora, I end up with double quotes.

Interestingly, I get the same behavior with the Hot Key even when I have added Excel to the "Igonore Programs" tab in the CF options.

This has been fixed in the current 1.5 release. Thanks! :)


Ah, nope. I've got version 1.5 and I'm still getting double sets of double quotes when scrubbing formatted text from an Excel spreadsheet.

For example, the following text in a Excel spreadsheet cell:

Now is the time for all "good" men to come to the aid of their country.

After scrubbing, shows up like this:

Now is the time for all ""good"" men to come to the aid of their country.

I really like your ClipboardFusion app. However, it seems to have a problem scrubbing text copied from an Excel spreadsheet cell. It often wants to add an extra set of double quotes around a body of text and/or add extra double quotes to existing double quotes in a string. This is when I single click on a cell, then copy it. If I double click on the cell and drag-n-copy the text, it works okay. I can email you a sample spreadsheet offline that I have the most trouble with, if you'd like.

You know, it would be really nice to have a user-configurable hot-key that would allow the user to enable/disable the Clipboard scrubbing feature....

Thanks!
