Thanks for the follow-up. :-)
I would think you would have encountered a 255 character limit since it
doesn't appear to be a rich text box.
In taking a closer look, I don't see how pasting tables or images in the
dialog box would have worked. Perhaps you selected the data, copied it,
opened the dialog box (with the data still selected) and it appeared as
though when you pasted the data was being inserted but it was really being
picked up from the document??
