- texaslonghorn5 4y agoExactly, but the implementation is nontrivial/nonobvious if I'm copying from the web for example.

Otherwise, newlines at least sometimes get altered. Similarly "match destination formatting" often gets confused by formatting changes within the pasted text. I often end up pasting even formatted text via notepad and then recreating the formatting by hand.
