= SYMPTOMS =

When you copy and paste data from a database into a Spreadsheet or Word Processor document, the field name will be included with the data.

For example, if you have a field in the database titled “Name” and you select and copy a cell from it containing the text “Jane Doe,” the following will appear when you paste the text into a Spreadsheet or Word Processor document:

Name Jane Doe

= RESOLUTION =

To avoid this problem, hold down the OPTION key when you choose Paste from the Edit menu. The pasted text will appear without the field name, as follows:

Jane Doe
