[Solved] Pasting from Google Translate

Post by david613 »

Hello!

When I am pasting a translation from Google Translate into a text I am working on, sometimes the format (font, size, colors...) of the original is respected and sometimes... not.

Why this is happening and how can I avoid it?

Thank you for your help :D .

David

NEVER paste formatted content from a foreign source. Paste the content as "Unformatted text" by the Paste special function, and format it in the Writer by usage of the Styles.
