I wrote a substantial comment just now in Word, but now find I can't copy and paste it into my intended Waterpixels comment frame.

Don't want to write it out again..

Any ideas? I tried converting it into txt, but still no go

Hmmmm…… odd. I thought that did work. Try cutting and pasting into Notes and then copying from Notes. Ive been able to copy from Notes into Waterpixels.

I’m sure Rich will take a look at the issue.

I don't use Word, I've got Libre Open Office Write, here's copy and paste:

This is a comment written in Libra open office Write

checking to see if it will paste into Waterpixels

It pasted but ignored an Indent on the second line. I just used Ctrl-C and then right click to paste. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you. I'm on Win10 and using Firefox.

Should have no problem pasting in to a reply. This version of the forums does strip some formatting but should paste as plain text without a problem.

Maybe because I'm a Mac user?

I haven't tried Notes but will next time.

In the meantime, I laboriously rewrote the comment.

But I do prefer drafting and editing something long in Word. Same as I do when posting say an eBay ad, which copies fine.

I’m a Mac user too so it’s not that.

I've tried a various amount of ways to try to duplicate the issue but I can not seem to.

Def try pasting to notes then copy & paste from notes and see if that works.

If you want to attach a copy of your word doc then I can test it maybe there is a formatting that is being copied that the forum does not like so it is not allowing it to paste?

I just tried pasting from Word on Mac and it tries to attach the text as an image. Weird.

The workaround is to right click, "Paste and match style."

Thanks, but I didn't see that as an option in Firefox, which is where the Paste command should appear once you are ready to paste the text copied in Word.

"Paste" was always greyed out in Firefox.

But I didn't try a right click, so maybe that would help.

I could also try safari which I don't use these days, but there are some differences in how the two browsers behave (I can't use Firefox with MyGov!!!)

This was in Brave, which is Chrome with privacy added in.

Copied from Word, pasted perfectly,

Mac, Safari

Test paste from Office for Mac to Waterpixels on Safari

END PASTE

^ Works for me
