Tom,

I do a lot of work with Duxbury, and I've never run into the kind of 
quirks you describe in any upgrade I've ever done, which includes the 
upgrades from version 4 to 5, 5 SR2, and finally up to 6.

Having said that, however, I have to tell you that cut-and-paste is a 
very unpredictable way to move things from any application into 
Duxbury.  Try saving your spreadsheet as a Word document and opening 
the Word document in Duxbury.  I think you'll have a lot less 
trouble.  It's also possible that the problems you're having have 
nothing to do with Duxbury, but rather indicate that something else 
in your system has changed.  The best way to prove or disprove that 
is to reinstall from your original disk.  From what I've seen, 
Duxbury doesn't do much of anything to the registry, and certainly 
nothing very sneaky or evil.
