However, on Mac [not sure about other environments] you might need to use Cmd-Shift-V and select unformatted text so that the website formatting isn’t dumped into your page.

Re: Question about your user manual
I have the same problem with some web browsers. Try highlighting the stuff you withs to copy and the use control - c (ctl-C) to copy and the in the document you with to insert it into : position the cursor where you want to insert the stuff and hit CTL-V to paste it. These are old unix hotkeys but they still work on Mac And windows as well as linux. Dave On June 15, 2018 at 2:45:05 PM, Doug Cox (acr11th...@yahoo.com.invalid) wrote: I appreciate the response.

When you say "word program", you most likely mean the "Writer" word processing component of the software. Upon looking through your user manual I figured out why, it is because in the index of this user manual you cannot even keep the same context to what you should be defining.

Mein Problem: die Open Office (Version 4.1.5) -Textseite zeigt nur noch einen überdimensionierten Rand an mit Riesenschrift - drückt man „Seitenansicht“ erscheint diese in üblicher Größe. Schreiben ist so unmöglich. Für Hilfe, wie ich diesen Fehler beheben kann, wäre ich sehr dankbar. My problem: Open Office (Version 4.1.5) - text page got an oversized margin together with an oversized script. Page view looks normal. Under this condition writing is impossible.
