Sounds like this one is going to be a bit recalcitrant as they say.

Here are some other things I've tried before, if none of these work, give us a ring it's hard to try stuff without trying stuff :

• Typing the whole text w/ sendkeys followed by tab after you've set focus
• Use sendkeys with {DOWN} – read Web1.Selected.ParentElement.Value (maybe?? I forget exactly) – check Web1.Selected.ParentElement.OuterHtml – that will show how it's storing what is the selected.
• Maybe a simple sendkeys up/down
• Web1.Selected.Parent.FireEvent("OnChange")
