Description: If you copy a text from a web page which includes some character style (fonts, colors...) and you paste it in Writer, you get a text with similar style. If you make the same experiment in Impress you get plain text in the best case. Neither using paste special you can get to copy the styles if they come from HTML. If you copy from a code editor (like kate or notepad++), to retain code syntax highlight using HTML copy, you have the same problem. Workaround: copy from anywhere and paste to Writer, then copy from Writer and paste in Impress. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using firefox go to this web: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_styles.asp 2. Copy the lines: I am Red, I am Blue, I am Big. 3. Paste them in impress. 4. Paste them in writer. 5. Observe the difference. Actual Results: The pasted text in Writer retain the style, but the text in Impress doesn't retain the style. Neither using paste special you can retain the style in Impress. Expected Results: A way to retain the style of the pasted text in Impress. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I'm using KDE.
