Copying quirks

[Iandude0]

Ok, I'm not sure if this is just my computer being weird or a problem with the site, but sometimes I try copying some text from another person's post it comes in indented to the right of my normal text.

I don't know if I'm the only person who has this problem, but I was just going to throw this out here as an annoyance that I was hoping could be fixed if at all possible.

Thank you for your time.

That's not unique to you and is a result of selecting too much and copying....

My own little quirk comes up when I'm about to publish a story. I write in Microsoft Word, and when I copy/paste a story over to the QQ submission box, the title always ends up on the left side of the screen, rather then the center where it is in the Word document. Easy enough to fix, so I wouldn't have mentioned it if it weren't for this thread.

Rich-text copy-paste is a somewhat fiddly endeavor in general, and on QQ's end it's handled by an extension which is something of a black box. My general recommendation here is to fix formatting quirks from copy-paste manually, and if this becomes too difficult, to paste BBcode into the plaintext editor.

If there's a specific bad format in the rich text editor which you can't fix from inside it, often you can switch to plaintext temporarily and remove the formatting there, then switch back.
