Commas and other separator characters in Custom Text Fields

[Stretch]

I am working on a proposal. This means an individual can be responsible for
several paragraphs in the statement of work (SOW).

I pasted SOW paragraph numbers separated by commas into a text field. No
problem.

Here is the text I want to paste:

3.2.7, 3.2.7.1, 3.2.7.1.1, 3.2.7.1.2, 3.2.7.2, 3.2.7.2.1, 3.7.2.2.2

However, when I made the text field a Custom Field, Project 2007 stripped
off everything after the first comma.

Is there any way to make this work in a custom field?

Thanks in advance.

The text from your post pasted perfectly to Project 2007 for me in the Text6
field.
Sorry, cannot reproduce your problem. Are you sure the text is not just
hidden because the column width is a little narrow? Try opening column width
to see if it is there.

Stretch,
When you say you "made the text field a Custom Field" exactly
what did you do?

Like Jim, I had no trouble copying and pasting into a text field.

What are you trying to accomplish in the custom field?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
