Yes! Please change the default paste, but without losing the other options (sometimes, but not often, they are best). Sorry, no votes left. reassigend to bh I'd like to comment on thie issue. 1. I was never a big user of MS Word. Instead, I have used a wide variety of text programs over the years, MS Word being just one. 2. Hence, I am OK with the default, so long as an alternative paste is available. It probably should be available in OO. Past as unformatted text. But here is the first workaround: Use Firefox or Mozilla web browsers. Then add the extensions 'Copy as Plain Text' or 'Copy URL+' or both if you like. Then when you highlight, just right click and choose one of these. Second work around: Paste into notepad, then highlight and copy from there to OO. That will strip the formatting. 3. I actually *like* pasting as formatted text as it give me a good representation with links and everything. HOWEVER, it insists on pasting pictures and graphics linked from the websites. That means it may seem to hang while it tries to read in the graphics. If you are on dialup (I am) then more so. Then, it does not keep the graphics, but must re-read them from time to time. I solve this by manually deleting or doing a screen capture of each individual graphic and pasting it over the linked graphic thus making it a local rather than remote image. 4. The last annoying thing is the actual crashes that occur from pasting. See ISSUE# 39959 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=39959 How about an option to allow the user to decide what the default action is? Then everybody's happy. . *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 5963 *** closed |
