now a paste question

[larry at significantplanet.org]

Hello Dave,
Yes, you guessed it correctly.

However I have a new weird thing.
I have a large amount of text - over 10,000 5-ltr words.  I can copy and 
paste the entire text with no problem from one txt document to another via 
the clipboard.
But when I try to paste the entire amount into a LC field (either 6.1.1 or 
6.6.3) it will not paste in the whole amount.
It seems that a couple of years ago someone told me that LC has some weird 
limitation on how much can be put into a field at one time.
Does anyone know anything about that - or why I cannot paste the entire text 
into a LC field all at once.  I can do pieces and keep going until all of it 
is in the field.
Thanks,
Larry
