Can you be a bit more specific?

If you want to past text from a clip board while you’re authoring: select and copy it in the usual way (Ctrl+C) then paste into a text field (Ctrl+V).

If you want to import the text at runtime then you need to use the loadVariables() or loadVariablesNum() method to load a txt.file

If you want to import text at runtime and then apply conditional formatting you could conside using the xml.load() method to load an xml document.

Thank you!

I do not want bring the text in run time.  
I just want to bring the text from Word to Flash. I thought that I have to type the whole thing in the Text Field of Flash.

Will all the formats (Bold,Italic, Indentation) remain same If I want to bring it in runtime?

Depends how you specify it - you can use some basic html tags in your text file (bold, italic, face=’’, color=’#’) but you can’t justify for example.

You’ll also need to enable html for your dynamic text and use only single inverted commas to specify your attributes (otherwise Flash will think you’ve terminated the script).
