I'm moving a lot of items between files using copy special.

I've just noticed that every item pasted in a different file grid also gets assigned to the Inbox grid of that file.

I certainly don't want that but haven't been able to find anything in the manual or options that controls it.

As a side note, I really hope that improvements to moving items between files can be addressed down the road.  Right now, it's veer time-consuming.  When I move an item, it's important to me to preserve the original creation date.  The copy-special command does do that but only for top level being copied.  All subitems get assigned the current date.  As a result, I have to separately copy/paste each level of an outline, making it take many times longer than it should.

Looks like you can no longer highlight text in posts.

Hi Wayne,

  1. Inbox: I was not able to reproduce it. Perhaps you're pasting the items in the Inbox grid...
  2. Dates: Indeed, I'll fix that
  3. Highlight: It's on the list

Yeah, I figured the inbox issue would be non-reproducible.  I am sure I was not accidentally pasting in the inbox.  I tested it several times in different files and was able to reproduce it.  After I posted, it cleared up and stopped doing it.
