If the text fields are in a table cell, you can't easily select
individual text. You CAN select word by word, by holding down the
control key and double clicking on the words to "gather" up what you
need.
An easier way to handle this, if you need to paste in repeat text into
fields, is to either use AutoText or just open a second document, type
our your basic info and copy from that document into the fields you
need.
Note however, if you're being forced to repeat information, the form
designers could have done a better job automating the process to
eliminate this problem. You might want to show them my many free
tutorials on forms at wwww.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms or
point them to my eBook on Word AutoForms & Beginning VBA where I teach
BETTER practices for form creation!

Subject: [mso] copy/paste in Word 2000
Our volunteer office created a form which all volunteers were given a
copy of on a floppy. Perhaps it's called a "template"?? This is for
reporting volunteer activity.
I am very frustrated when using this form. I can't seem to highlight
simply a sentence or block of text, copy and move or paste it somewhere
else.
When highlighting, all of the text highlights from the cursor insertion
to the end of the document, rendering copy/paste useless. The form was
locked after creation by our coordinator. I do know how to unlock it.
I would be happy to forward the form to anyone who could take a look at
it and tell me how to fix this problem. All of us volunteers were
forced to use Word so that we would all be compatible in sending our
documents to the office. I am not very familiar with it at all, but I
seem to be the one who knows how to look for help on email lists!
Thanks,
Sue
