Thank you for reporting the results of your test. Based upon what you said it does seem that FTM 2014 has some type of problem with using the correct data from the Windows pasting feature. Until it gets resolved, it looks like your work around of going to the FTM field before performing the Windows Copy is the only way to accurately transfer the data. I will have to remember that in the future so I thank you. BJ On 1/4/2014 5:14 AM, J. Strong wrote: > I am not using the browser from within FTM. BTW I am using IE 9.
