Something I've taken for granted in Microsoft Office (and virtually every
other word processor/text editor) is that if I cut or copy text from some
place and paste it to the program, the whole thing is copied over. With OOo
Writer it seems that only the first page is pasted in and the rest of it?
Who knows. I regard this a bug, and believe me - it bugs me. Is there any
plan to correct this? (Alas I can't program anything newer than GW-BASIC so
I can't do it myself).
I have had this experience, but it may be because you are copying from a
Table in the web page, and the Table structure gets copied.
When this is the case, you see only the first page or so of what I
pasted. Try this: Put the cursor in the topmost part of the pasted
material, then click "Table" on the top most OO.o menu, click "convert"
then "table to text" will retrieve most if not all of the stuff you
pasted. You may have to repeat this to dispose of all the table
structure. I hope this helps.
BTW Thanks to those who mentioned "Paste Special". I'll try that when I
next encounter this apparent anomaly.
With warmest Regards

I note in a later reply that someone mentions "paste special" which I
have not used.
