Just tried *SAVING* the blank/open Word Processor document. Previously, this blank was for discarding once all the multiple Pastes had been added on to completion. Well, Saving/naming the blank AFTER EACH PASTE *works* without disappearing into the ether!1 YAY!1

After all the additions to the Pastings are completed and then Copy/Paste to the DU entry, the document can be Deleted.
