Copy/Paste problem

There's something everyone else seems to be able to do, but not me. And that is, copy/paste (drag & drop) text with it's color, font (Bold, Italic, underline), and faces, into the message body. I can copy/paste things into a text program, but not into the message. I'm using a Machintosh G4, and the browser Safari. Can anyone help me?

 

You can't just copy and paste, you have to actually go in and redo the markups. If you copy and paste, you'll just get plain text.

 

Yup, what the Purpleness said. You have to redo it yourself.

 

Or you can use the quote function, that will give you the markups, I beleive. YOu can just delete the part that says "Quoted" or whatever it says... i don't really use it.

 

Only the Firefox extension quoting function does the colors, and then only if there are no spaces in a name. If it's an older screen name, it is funky. The IGN function just does plain text.

To get the colors without using Firefox, I've had to do the mark ups manually. This can suck in Fan Fic, trust me.

 

Here is a wonderful converter that Arin_Atona made: JC Fan Fic Rapid Formatter You plug the text from Word into there and press the button and it converts for you. Very handy to have.

Here[/i] is the thread about it, in Fan Fic Resource.

He made it for Fan Fic, but if you pasted the quote into Word and then plug it in there, the markups are done for you.

 

I hadn't thought of that before, thanks.
