Thanks, Sean
Why I try to use Jawin call vc-clipboard is that I want to paste some HTML
string to my PPT slides. PPT COM provides method PastSpecial(), following
which I can paste HTML pieces in system clipboard to powerpoint slides. I
tried TextTransfer but I failed to set DataType to it. Hence,i got an error,
org.jawin.COMException: 80020009: TextRange.PasteSpecial : Invalid request.
The specified data type is unavailable.

SetClipboardData() in USER32.dll got a parameter DataType with which i can
specify while set clipboard content. If right DataType has been set
correctly, PasteSpecial() method will work right.

Pure java clipboard operation is attractive to me, too. But now I am not
sure DataFlavor is the same to DataType in USER32.DLL. I'll try vc clipboard
operation through jawin first and then try pure java ones.

thanks a lot.
