And you are correct Kay, in checking the target against the clipboard, after a busy day photographing dolphins I came back and tried another test.
My original suggestion was too simple in that if the clipboardData contained an image it would paste the image over the top of everything on the card even though the target was a text field. My apologies for any confusion, I should have checked a few more options before posting instead of focussing too much on testing with text.
