Thanks for those suggestions, but unfortunately, I'd tried them. ctrl-v
doesn't work, even with plain text. Neither does the the paste menu command
(which is active, but inoperative). This problem only occurs with a field
type of 'multiple lines of text', and with 'Allow rich HTML text' enabled.
Otherwise it works fine.

Wonder if someone else can try a test case for me to see if this is a
'feature' or local condition.

Thanks!
