OMG, a light bulb moment!
My sincere apologies to everyone for wasting their time on a non-existent
problem.
*Of course* I had been using TRANSACTION Copy/Cut and Paste successfully
not EDIT Copy/Cut and Paste.
I can only put this down to my rapidly declining brain cells over the years.
Once again, thank you all for your patience and the developers for a great
and very useful program.
Cheers
