= SUMMARY =

When you copy field contents to the Database form view, the information is always inserted in the first field regardless of which field you highlight. This problem occurs because form view is record oriented and only copies an entire record to the form screen.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Highlight one word in the Word Processor.
 * 2) Choose Edit Copy.
 * 3) Open a Works Database file.
 * 4) Move to form view.
 * 5) Move the highlight to the second field and press ENTER.

The word copied is inserted in the first field instead of where the highlight is positioned. To copy one field at a time, copy the field to the Database list view (with steps 1-5 above). List view is field oriented.
