I have been copying/pasting my ProTitler titles (with all attributes, including a gaussian blur and the titles sliding off the screen) without incident, at least on a project that has spanned 8 DVDs and over 50 of the same style titling! I originally went into ProTitler and typed in my first title, chose all of the attributes/effects etc. (including fade-in and fade-out) and stretched it to my desired length. When I wanted to use everything BUT the exact wording, I went to the (first) event instance, copied it, and clicked on in the timeline where I wanted to paste it and pasted it!! I then clicked into and edited the words, got out of it and it worked EVERY TIME!! The titles overlayed a bluish stock graphic that is one of the media files included in Vegas 8. So unless I am reading this totally wrong, I do not understand why you are having any issues.
