Copy + paste into Word from IE applet does not apear to work

Marvin applet 5.3.0.2 on IE8

Draw a molecule in the applet select all and copy.  Move to Word and ctrl-v and nothing happens.  This works fine from the same application in firefox (3.0.15)

I guess its the difference is between the <object> in IE and the <embed> in FF? (or is something going wrong?)

IE rendered as

<OBJECT style="WIDTH: 1524px; HEIGHT: 885px" id="EVOsourceSketch" codeBase="https://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u14-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,5,0,0" classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" width="100%" height="98%"><PARAM name="codebase" value="marvin" /><PARAM name="archive" value="appletlaunch.jar" /><PARAM name="code" value="chemaxon/marvin/applet/JMSketchLaunch" /><PARAM name="scriptable" value="true" /><PARAM name="mayscript" value="true" /><PARAM name="molbg" value="@javascript-URI-encoded@%23ffffff" /><PARAM name="background" value="@javascript-URI-encoded@%23ffffff" /><PARAM name="chiralitySupport" value="@javascript-URI-encoded@all" /><PARAM name="menuconfig" value="@javascript-URI-encoded@.%2Fresources%2Fevotec%2Fmarvin-evotec.xml" /><PARAM name="splashScreenImage" value="@javascript-URI-encoded@.%2Fimages%2Floading.gif" /><PARAM name="mol" value="@javascript-URI-encoded@" /><PARAM name="legacy_lifecycle" value="true" /><PARAM name="java_arguments" value="-Djnlp.packEnabled=true" /></OBJECT>

Hi Ian,

I just tried to reproduce it with IE 8 on my machine, but could not; I can easily paste an OLE object from the applet. One guess I have: if you use Office 2003, it had a "nice" feature that during its startup it cleared the clipboard. So if you have that verison, you should start Word first, then copy the structure in the applet, and paste. In Office 2007 this does not exist.

In that case, would you please try the OLE copy on the online tryout page please:
