--- Comment #7 from ady <adylo811...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Tracey from comment #5) > It was discovered that it works in safe-mode, but not in normal mode. > Rather than fix it, I was told to be in safe-mode when I want to copy/paste > text from/to ODT/ODS (not a professional solution). My guess is that using LO safe mode was intended as a test, part of the procedure to find out the reason/origin of the problem. I think it was not intended as a permanent solution. Again, I would suggest presenting the specific case in the Ask forum site, including what exactly you are copy-pasting and from where (e.g. web page, text formatted as bold, with 'X' font...), exact version of LO – use menu Help > About, use the icon in there to copy the info and paste it in your first post for each topic – in which module you are pasting to (Calc, Writer, Impress…) and other relevant information. If other users replicate the behavior and cannot find any real permanent solution – using Safe Mode is not – then you can start a new bug report with clear steps to reproduce the problem. > > When I used find/replace to change selected font styles, I discovered that > it corrupted the document. > It was discovered to be true, but rather than fix find/replace utility I was > told NOT to use find/replace to change font styles (not a professional > solution).

Again, please use the Ask site, where possible misunderstandings could be re-asked and clarified, with links to Help content and what not. Please understand that using this Bugzilla site for such things would waste a lot of resources. In other report(s) you have started, the suggestion to use templates (or to modify the default template) was also offered, as in this report. There might be better ways to do this, but perhaps LO lacks such method ATM. One thing is "how to do it with current available methods in LO", and another is to request a new method that might be easier for users in the future. Whichever the case, such discussions could start in the Ask site, and then present a clear suggestion by opening a new report. Please review your currently-opened reports and act accordingly, for instance replying to those in "needinfo" status. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
