So, I have this form (xp/2003, don't ask why) with multiple fields in them:



<field for header>

<field for intro text>

<field for indented text>

Each of the fields have their own formatting, e.g. red heading, intro text in bold, indented text in regular.

All works well as long as I type manually, or if I paste only a single line from a different document.

But if I try to paste multiple paragraphs of text, all sorts of weird things happen. The intro text may end up above the heading, for example.



What's going on?

Are you sure you have the correct formfield selected when pasting? When I paste multiple paragraphs into a formfield in Word 2003, that formfield ends up having multiple paragraphs - nothing spills over into the other formfields.

The other possibility is that you have a background macro that intercepts carriage returns entered into formfields and treats them the same as pressing the tab key (which takes you to the next formfield).
