Can I paste text into the drag-and-drop editor without keeping the original formatting?

While we offer the ability to paste content from an external source and retain text formatting, there are certainly times where you do not want to keep this formatting. Our text editor includes a paste text function with three options:

• Inherit style at cursor
• Retain source style
• Strip all formatting

The paste function is not supported by Firefox, therefore the icon will not be available in the drag-and-drop text editor. Please see the following information on the manual Paste options available, by (supported) Browser:

Right-Click Mouse Menu

Chrome:
	- Paste
		- Retains any copied formatting
	- Paste as plain text
		- Pastes only the selected text (no formatting)
Firefox:
