SOLVED! Text copied from Atlantis loses all formatting

Siavahda · Post by **Siavahda** » Sun Jun 11, 2017 5:43 am

Hi all! I'm having a very frustrating problem wherein any text copied from Atlantis (CTRL+C/Edit --> Copy) loses all formatting when pasted into another (non-Atlantis) document or a rich text text-box online. All my italics, paragraph indents, bolding, etc just vanish. I've tried everything I can think of, and as far as I can tell from the Atlantis Help this isn't something that's supposed to happen.

Can anybody help me please?

Try "Edit | Copy as HTML" in Atlantis, then "Ctrl+V" into anything else than Atlantis.

Hi, that works fine, but my issue isn't copying text into another Atlantis document, it's copying text into another text program or a rich text box online, like I said.

Edit: Sorry, I misread your comment. Copying as HTML doesn't fix it; I pasted into LibreOffice Writer and the formatting is still gone.

Edited again: it DOES work pasted into Rich Text boxes though o.0 Maybe it's an issue with LibreOffice...

Is there a way to set Copy as HTML as the default copying command?

Never mind, figured out how to edit the Hot Keys. Thanks so much for your help Robert! :D

As you found out, you can assign any desirable hot key to “Copy as HTML”.

You can also place the corresponding icon/command on your Atlantis toolbars (Tools | Toolbars… > Edit category > Copy as HTML).

I know that we are not supposed to look a gift horse in the mouth, but if I copy a formatted text from Atlantis using “Copy as HTML”, and paste it into MS Word, the original formatting is preserved. If I copy a formatted text from Atlantis using “Copy as HTML”, and paste it into LibreOffice Writer, the original formatting is not all preserved: there are failings.

I leave you to draw the obvious conclusion…

Clearly LibreOffice is fail, yes. Thank you for the help!
