Many have had trouble with copy/paste between programs, Copy from the original. Paste to a 'word' type program. Now copy from 'word' to where you want to go.

Some of us believe that the different formats don't work together. By using the 'Word' program as a translator, it works out.

This varies depending on the formatting of the source text and where you paste.

I assume you do not have an issue with paragraph breaks. When it comes to line breaks, Windows uses a different kind of line break (carriage return + line feed) than other operating systems. Simple programs like Notepad cannot handle the other form (the breaks disappear), but many programs can.

If you select the area you want to copy and right-click > View Selection Source, you could try copying from the source view and see whether that works any better in the destination program.

Alternately, there might be an add-on to transparently preformat the text when copying (dedicated right-click context menu item).
