This behavior allows field members to use the Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, and Ctrl + X commands for copy, paste, and cut. THis is not a variable, it actually writes to the windows clipboard so the data is available to other fields as well as other programs. Note- this will only work with field members, not text members and it does not function correctly in authoring mode, only in projectors.
