Writing Studio -- Students Say Evaluatons Won't Cut and Paste

If they use the paste tool (one of the buttons on the top row that look like a clipboard--the one with a W on it is paste from Word, but the plain clipboard one is just cut/paste) instead of using short-cut keys or the drop-down menu in Pages, they won't have the problem.
