Hi Hussein, Thanks for your response. As it turns out, the problem is not that it is pasting as content, but that it is not including the blue background. So it merely *looks* as if it is an editable part of the rest of the file, without actually being editable. I would be happy to send screenshot-videos if you are having trouble following the steps I provided, so that you can see the effect for yourself. I have reproduced this problem on Mac OS 10.4.9 and Windows XP (under Parallels), but always within the same instance of the program (that is, not copying from 3.5.1 into 3.6.0).
