paulmitchell1989 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm remaking several pages in Learn from 3, one site in particular is a Work Experience jobs board. When copying text from the Frog 3 page it says each time the text below. When copying and pasting again it loses all the formatting, spaces etc which will take a lot longer to transfer across. Does anyone know what browser security settings I can temporarily disable? Currently using Chrome! As always, thanks in advance!

clangstaff Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 This is generally the case when using FrogLearn it doesn't keep the formatting - I've not tested this but one thing you could try is pasting the text with formatting in to a Word doc. Copy the text again in word and then use the Word paste icon within FrogLearns text editor this may keep the formatting for you - let me know if it does! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THaines Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 @paulmitchell1989 It's not to do with browser security settings, it's a FrogLearn thing. They used to have formatting but it was removed (not entirely sure why), hence anything you copy/paste from anything (including Word docs @clangstaff) it strips all formatting. It's hugely irritating...I believe there is an idea on the Ideas Portal to bring formatting back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmitchell1989 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 @clangstaff Thanks for the advice - Paste from Word did a slighlty better job in remembering bold and spaces, least that's some timesaving! @THaines Thanks for the info - I'm going to find the idea in the ideasportal to upvote it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoseley Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I have had better luck using copy and paste into and out of Libre Office. We had and issue with some meta data formatting that came along from Word causing problems with every other text widget on the particular site. Particularly if you are using tables within a text widget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
