Description Ingo 2020-03-03 22:17:40 UTC
Often I like to copy parts from websites to writer (or impress). 
I found two ways in Libre Office to do it: CTRL+V or Shift+CTRL+V. 
Both are not good for me. 

What I need: 
- Copy the text and pictures from HTML (websites, emails) into writer including text formats for fonts (size, bold, italic, color, list bullets/numbering). 
The result should be an easy readable writer sheet. 
- A third option in the paste special menu Shift+CTRL+V, e.g. "formatted text without HTML".  

Application: 
Long and interesting professional articles I like to read comfortable in the evening in the chair rather than  on screen. Print it from the browser it gets (example) 27 pages, where 23 pages are nonsense or advertising. (just a header on one page and a Facebook gimmick on another page. The proper title of my article comes on page 4, etc. pp.) Those are 23 pages waste, killing trees, energy and toner.   
My way is: mark the text including pictures and title, copy and paste it to (Writer or Word), reduce the font size, delete the advertisements from in the middle, and print it on 3 pages with 2 sheets of paper. 
Until now I need to use MS-Word for those application, because that makes it fine. But I like to go far from MS using Linux and LibreOffice.  

This feature request includes copy to writer and impress and includes copy from Emails (Thunderbird).

Thousand thanks to the developer team which makes it possible to use LibreOffice!!!!!!
I know, my request is a kind of luxery. On the other hand it's a function I miss very often. 

Best regards from Ingo.

Ingo, which version of LO do you use? Please make sure, that it is the actual version. What about the options in submenu of paste icon? Do you achieve a better result?
