Mystery solved!  We have a single point of entry into Papyrus - my research 
assistant does all changes, then produces bb files, which I use to update 
my files.  But she's running Windows 98, and hence not using a file as the 
clipboard.  So, when I update my files, I overwrite that preference.
Is there a workaround?  (other than just remembering to keep changing the 
preference back?)
