Brand new user with Mint 17.3 Cinnamon. I have copied and pasted from PDF for years in MS and get exactly what I copy. LO Writer does not copy formatting. Secondly when I paste it is highlighted and I cannot turn off highlighting. I close document to start again. Re-open 42 page doc which now shows 126 pages - 84 pages completely blank and doc info at bottom of page shows 0 words and 0 characters in the document. I have been copy and pasting for years, simply and effectively - WSIWYG! Not so when pasting into LO Writer.
How do I shut off that dam highlighter?
Can LO Writer give me WYSIWIG?
Where can I get the fonts that I have used for years like Arial and Verdana?
