Pasting text

Some of the text that you may want to paste into text areas can already be formatted from its source. For example, when you paste text from a Word document, it usually has some basic formatting applied to it. By default, the editor recognizes and keeps the formatting when you paste the text.

The toolbar allows you to paste text in three different ways:

• Pasting text while preserving formatting - use this method to paste an already formatted text and keep its formatting.
• Pasting text from Microsoft Word - use this method if you want to paste text from a Word document and preserve its formatting.
• Pasting text without preserving formatting - use this method if you want to leave formatting out of an already formatted text.

Pasting text while preserving formatting

1. Copy or Cut the text that you want to Paste.
2. Click with your left mouse button where in a text area you want to paste the text.
3. Press the CTRL + V buttons on your keyboard. Note that you can also use the dedicated Paste button on the editor and paste the text inside it.
4. (Optional) Confirm the Paste dialog by pressing OK.

The system pastes the text and preserves its formatting, if it had any.
