Ok thanks. This is a referenced field not a copy and paste so sounds as if
it is not possible.
I need to copy text and fields as the field contains a security marker used
by the header to set the page security level.

If you are copying and pasting in Word format, that is, not as
unformatted text, field codes should be included. However, you may
have to update the field to see its current value.

To update a field, select it and press F9. To update all fields at
once, press Ctrl+A to select the entire document and then press F9.

Note that if you are duplicating information via a cross-reference or
a manually inserted REF field, the value of any fields included in the
bookmark will be displayed, not the actual field. Usually, this is
also what you want. If you want a "live" field, you'll have to either
insert it again or insert a copy of it (as described above).

I need to be able to copy a block of text from one portion to
another in a
document automatically along with any associated field codes. I am
currently doing this via a bookmark except the copied text does not
include
the underlying filed codes, just the pure text. Is there another
way to
reference text in a document and have it copied to another location
in full,
text and fields?
