Hyperlinks removed when copying text from browser and pasting into Writer [closed]
I am a basic user of this software and am currently using LibreOffice Version: 4.2.3.3 on Windows 8 and when I am using Writer and copy text from my browser and paste it, any hyperlinks that existed in the original text are removed. For example, if I copy and paste the third paragraph of the article from this page - http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140... - the hyperlinks connected to the underlined words are removed. This did not happen in the previous version of Writer and I have searched to try to find out if there are any default settings that have changed , but have had no luck.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
A very big thank you to all three of you that have responded at the time of writing this comment - you have helped solve my problem.
I wasn't aware of the "Paste Special" option and that choosing "HTML format without comments" does exactly what I wanted!
P.S. Thanks for the shortcut manj_k. Also I was using Firefox.
