If I create a 2 page document by pressing [Ctrl] + [Enter] after a line of text on page 1. I then write on page 2, copy that text and paste it below the line of text I wrote on page 1, the text should appear below but it does not. A new page is created and it shows on page 2, pushing the original page 2 to page 3.
Is this a bug or by design?
I am using Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 9e9821abd0ffdbc09cd8c52eaa574fa09eb08f2) on Linux Mint 14
Thanks
Making visible the Menu/View/Nonprinting characters [Ctrl+F10], can make easy copy only the text and paste in the right place.
It is by design. Inserting a hard page break (CTRL+ENTER) formats the following paragraph (page 2) to include a page break before. Thus, when you select the text on the second page the first line / paragraph includes this paragraph definition i.e., Format > Paragraph… > Text Flow tab will show under the Breaks section: “Insert | Page | Before”. If you want to select this text (page 2) and paste it back on to page one (without the leading page break) you need to use paste special (CTRL+SHIFT+V) and select “Unformatted text”. This will not include the style definitions. This also means that all character (bold, italic, etc.) and paragraph (indent, spacing, etc.) settings will be lost.
