Referring to cursor values with dot notation

Is there anyway to refer to a column in the cursor by the cursor name, for use in an insert statement? The follow raises the PLS-00225: subprogram or cursor 'C' reference is out of scope message. The cursor is declared between the AS and BEGIN of the create procedure statement, and the OPEN C; statement does not fail, perhaps suggesting that the location within the block structure is not the problem.

Thanks very much for your time and help.

        CURSOR C IS 
        SELECT * 
        FROM TABLE1;

INSERT INTO TABLE2 (FIELD1, FIELD2)
VALUES (C.FIELD1, C.FIELD2);                          Steven Moyano
