Description James 2013-03-08 11:03:25 UTC
Problem description: 

When pasting any details from the spreadsheet, it removes some of the previous formatting already placed on the template.
This includes removing of any brand(logo) in the opposite corner of the sheet, and mis-alining some of the "editable text" area's which are supposed too be lined up horizontally.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a template with editable area's tabbed too line up horizontally {making sure they weren't aligned originally} 
2. Add more formatting {include logo's, alternative address, etc.}
3. Type any details into a spreadsheet on and save file in any format.
4. Copy any of the details inside a spreadsheet cell, and try too paste them into the editable area's of the template.


Expected behavior:

For the copied information {account number, address line, date, etc.} to be pasted into the edited area without damaging the rest of the file, like it did in version 3.6.3.2
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.0.0.3 release

This is behaviour you may expect when e.g. a logo is anchored in the paragraph where one of the fields is, and then when that is replaced when you copy/paste new data over that paragraphs.

Can you pls find some help in documentation / users support to fiddle this out, if needed?
