It does copy it. Whether you see it depends on whether transparency is
switched on for that document. At the moment, I suspect you do not
have "switch transparency on 'When creating a new document'" (Crystal
section of Choices) set. You probably don't want/need to set this
normally anyway as long as you remember the following:
You should see there is a 'Display' option icon in the toolbar which
can be switched on when an object using Crystal is selected. This will
then turn transparency on for the document. If you did not already
have transparency in the receiving document, then you could presumably
have copied the other document into the first one if transparency
truly were lost on copy/paste.
