I’m sorry, I still don’t understand how I would add a key to the key path to
remove the formatting?
From the list here https://bibdesk.sourceforge.io/manual/BibDeskHelp_95.html I
couldn’t see anything that would do that.
I tried Nathan’s suggestions, but yes, as you said, it still has font
information preserved (it pastes it as Helvetica, not exactly sure where it
gets that from if it is not using any template).
Thanks,
Jan
