I'm not sure I'm following your comment. As I understand it, 1. You find something on a Census web page that you want to copy into FTM. Using your example, it is a place name. 2. You highlight the place name in the web site and use Ctrl+C to copy the information into the Windows Clipboard. 3. You then go into FTM, go to the individual, create a fact (Census or Residence). 4. Place the cursor in the fact's Place field. 5. Use Ctrl+V to paste the information from the Windows Clipboard into the FTM Place field but something else is pasted into the Place field. Is this correct? The only way to can accurately paste the information from the Census Web page is to 1. Go into FTM, create the fact, place the cursor in the fact's Place field. 2. Go to the Census web site 3. Highlight the place name in the web site. 4. Use Ctrl+C to copy the information into Windows Clipboard. 5. Return to the FTM fact's Place field and use Ctrl+V to paste the place name into the field. Is that correct? I find it interesting because I use Ctrl+C to copy information all the time and am able to the go to a field in FTM and use Ctrl+V to paste the information from the Windows Clipboard. FTM is simply using the latest entry in the Windows Clipboard. You might try this. 1. Don't go to the FTM fact's Place field first. 2. Use Ctrl+C to copy the information from the Census web site. 3. Go to the FTM fact's Place field and use Ctrl+V to paste the information into the field. 4. If it is not the correct information, make a note of what was pasted. 5. Open up NotePad or an email message and paste into it. 6. What is pasted? Is it the Census information or what was pasted into the FTM fact's field? Do you use any type of utility that allows you to select what to paste from the clipboard from previous copy actions? BJ On 1/3/2014 9:26 AM, J.

BUT I can only copy and paste if my cursor is located at the exact place in FTM where I want to copy TO. I might copy a place name from a census in Ancestry to the individual fact section. If I am not at that exact location in FTM 2014 when I did the copy (Ctl C), something else would paste - namely the first bit of text that appears on the Fact page.
