I want to copy from my browser an article with some Bold faced words and it also has many italicized words and then paste it in Writer. However, after pasting, the Italicized words and bold words are all normal print size. I can’t figure out why I can’t bring this over to the Writer Doc.

Possibly has to do with how the web page is formatted. Can you give a link to a page that behaves as you describe?

You might please edit your post to include information about your operating system, LO version from Help | About (use the icon right of Version Information to copy the text) and the format in which you save your document.

I edited my original post with Operating system and LO version. In reference to " the format in which you save your document." I clicked Format button in LO document and I see Clone, Clear Direct, and Spotlight character. I don’t know which one I am using. When I “save as type” I use “ODF Text Document”. The webpage that has italics and Bold info is : https://abchomeopathy.com/r.php/Merl/head/

But it is not available for non-members.

It is usually preferable to paste data from web sites as Unformatted Text because format encoding varies with the technology used by the site. LO has filters for “common” ones like CSS. And result is never guaranteed because direct formatting may alter the rendering (whether this direct formatting is caused by the paste operation or you already have one at the location).

EDIT:
Of course, after you have pasted as unformatted, you must format the data, but you do it with standard Writer primitives, i.e. character styles.

I log into the site every time that I use it. So I assume that I am a member. Until two days ago I could copy and paste italicized words. Now it doesn’t do that anymore. I never could copy and paste the bold words.

I tried unformatted, special paste, and it doesn’t help.

#7

I am doing a project that requires a lot of copying and pasting. I really don’t like the idea of having to go to character styles and other steps. I am not a computer expert. Having to do all of this formatting every time I copy and past (at least 100) every day. This adds more steps to this complex operation that I am working on. I was hoping there was a one button fix. Like I said, it just started not pasting the Italicized words 2 days ago. I thought it was something I had done or touched using Writer.
