SYMPTOMS

When you paste text that consists of several paragraphs into a text form field in Microsoft Word 2000, only the first paragraph is pasted.

This happens when the text was copied to the clipboard in one of the following ways:

From another application; for example, Microsoft Excel or Notepad.
From another form field.
From the same document while unprotected (and the document is then protected and the clipboard contents pasted into a form field).

The problem does not occur when the text is copied to the clipboard from Internet Explorer or from another unprotected Word document.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
