Hi,

When I tried to copy the content from other source and paste to Writer, Paste option is missing. i.e. source formatting or destination formatting. so every time we need to change the font, font color and size as per our needs. Please find the screen shots below which i found in MS office (word document) for reference. I hope the below screen shot may be useful to update the missing functionality in future.

I found this LibreOffice 5.1.1 version. Please have a look into the below description and let me know if any additional details required.

Hi BanuKumar,

Thanks for the issue.

When you refer to the fact that there is no Paste Special offered, then I can confirm that this happens now and then too me. But I never made a good investigation of the situation that is linked with the behavior.

When you refer to the fact that there is no tag, as offered by Word: indeed that is not available at the moment. (But the functionality is offered by Paste special, saving you some work ;) )

Did you try to do a search for other reports in BugZilla around this issue?

Cheers - Cor

Hi Cor, 

Thanks for your reply. I hav searched in bugzilla for similar type of functionality and I was not able to find it. But I missed to mention clearly in my previous comments, that paste special option ie source r destination formatting is missing. whenever I try to paste the content in Writer from other source it wil be easy for the user as it saves some time if we do have paste special option in upcoming versions.

There are reported bugs for paste. Looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65606
