Stack to copy tabbed text and paste as a table in Word

Posted in answer to a request on the LC user list…

The attached stack is to demonstrate copying some tabbed text from a field in LiveCode and then pasting it into a word type document where it should result in a table being pasted.

The script of the Copy button relies heavily on the custom properties of the button, these could be edited to give different results in the pasted table, e.g. Font, text size, borders etc.

And another option that may be more compatible with MS apps.

I should also point out that this is only compatible with LC8.x.x or later.
