The trouble is that the values returned in the ClipBoard.Formats
array are just integers. The meanings of some of them can be found
in the Delphi 5 source (windows.pas), e.g. 1 = CF_TEXT, 7 = CF_OEMTEXT,
etc, but some of the values I am getting are in the range 50000-60000
and I can find no explanation of them. (I am working with a clipboard
containing material copied from within Word 2000, and I am using Win95.)

Applications can register their own clipboard formats, if I am not
mistaken. Office applications probably do so extensively, in the
interest of integration (with other Office applications, obviously).
It may or may not be documented how those formats work. But I bet
Google knows anyway. Don't forget to search for hex values, too.
Groetjes,

Registered clipboard formats are identified by values in the range
0xC000 through 0xFFFF.
This only means that what your getting is custom clipboard formats
made by apps that are most likely communicating with each other in some
way that they understand.
Packages like Office for WIndows, Corel etc...

Thanks for any ideas,
