Shapes behaving badly

Hi.  I have a shape that is behaving badly that I could use some help with.  I created a stencil which contains a master shape that has some data fields associated with it.  When I drag the shape into my desired document and try to enter data into the predefined fields, I get the "No shape data exists" dialog.  Also, when the shape is dropped, the text for the data fields disappears.

If I drag this master shape onto other documents, it works fine.  Any idea why the shape is behaving badly?

Thanks!

Look at the document stencil, menu File -> Shapes -> Document Stencil
Is there already a shape with the same master name? Try editing it and see if the fields are defined.
