Copying and pasting data

I have a situation where a client wants to copy their saved data from a
JetForm Filler form and paste it into the same, converted, InfoPath form.  I
tried this and it does not work.  I did find that pasting the data into a
Word document and then copying it again will then allow you to paste into an
InfoPath form field.  You would think that you could copy and paste between
two 32-bit apps.
Any ideas on why this is happening?

Most likely this is occuring because when you copy out of JetForm, it is being stored in the clipboard as some data-type other than text. When you paste into Word (or Notepad) and then copy again, it gets copied into the clipboard as a different data-type, one which InfoPath understands.
