There's always a white stripe which shows up against AM's grey background, and the words appear on the white stripe. It looks for all the world like I've gone over my original text with Tippex and typed over it. What is that all about?
It all depends on the way the text was formatted on the other site. Try "paste as plain text" next time. In Chrome, you can access it by right clicking.
I knew there was such a feature as "paste as plain text" but I didn't know what its function was. I am not one to mess with things I don't understand. Lol:)
I'll try it that way next time and see what happens.
I have a text editor open at all times. When I don't like the formatting that gets copied, I paste it into the editor and delete it. Then I paste it into my post. That way all the formatting is gone and only the text remains.
TIP: Delete & paste is the same as copy & paste except for the delete part. My preferred editor is Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download
Thanks, Jewels. I'm a bit wary of Notepad though. I once opened a document through Notepad by mistake and it converted the document's text into a load of incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo and I had to remake the document.
That is because most file formats are incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo when you load them into a text editor. But you only corrupt the file if you save after it is converted.
Notepad++ is a lot more than Notepad.
