The log in process is a little clunky. I have not been able to copy paste a field in the template creator. I have 30 fields or so that will each have the same sized field, I should be able to duplicate the specific field a number of times and paste. No?

Did you know?

Problem: Pasting text with C-y typically inherits a lot of the new lines that PDF text tends to carry, requiring me to fix the text manually. Solution: M-q, fill-column, does well to reformat the text I yank from PDFs into paragraphs of length determined by Emacs'. Younger's answer below clarified my problem.
