ClarisWorks 5.0v2 copy/paste text glitch?

ClarisWorks 5.0v2 copy/paste text glitch?

CNET staff
Although the new ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Updater fixes 23 bugs (according to the Read Me file), Barry Maggert notes that it did not fix the one bug that bothered him the most: "If you copy or cut text from one part of a document and paste to another part of the document, you often lose all formatting information. The pasted text becomes plain Helvetica. The user must change the font back to its original setting along with any bold, italic, etc. style information. This never happened in version 4.x or earlier."

I still use ClarisWorks 4.0v5. While I have not had this exact problem, I have had a similar one: With some (not all) of my ClarisWorks documents (I have not taken the time to diagnose what the difference between documents is), if I paste text that was copied from a document of another application into a ClarisWorks document, it always pastes as plain Helvetica, rather than the format of the surrounding text.
