It seems most of my posts here end up being a complaint about MS Teams. So here is another. Teams will happily take the formatting of "black text" from copying from Word for example. But anyone who is using a dark theme on Teams now can't read it because it "intelligently" kept the formatting that didn't even matter because it was just "plain back text". Had it been copied from something that didn't specify that formatting, it would have just worked.
- bobbylarrybobby 4y agoDoes making the background in Word white and not just "default" fix this?
- linuxdaemon 4y agoIt would make sense that it would if the formatting was specified (though MS rarely makes much sense). I can't test this myself. I only have access to word online, and (unless I'm blind) there is no way to specify background on a text/paragraph in the online version.

- Too 4y agoMmmmmm, MS Teams... Don't get me started. Try pasting a code snippet into MS Teams, it will happily remove all the indentation - even if you paste it in a code block! Extra good luck with yaml. Some people at work now started taking screenshots when sharing small snippets to work around this nonsense. Going in the other direction, trying to select and copy a single line from a chat message will copy the entire message. Who even comes up with features like this?
- mattkevan 4y agoTeams is a complete tire-fire and I despise using it. Even by Microsoft's standards it's laughably bad.
