Why are you using cmd-shift-g and typing? Just open the window the books are coming from and open the window they are going to. Then Do cmd-c to copy and cmd-accent to go to the other window and cmd-v to paste. And i suspect if your view is changing, there's a reason; I could be wrong but I don't think it's an oddity that happens without reason. But I am afraid that without more information I can't tell you why it's happening. -- Cheryl
