Copy + Pasting Hyperlinks

Post by fig4159 »

Before the last update (to rev S1066.0605), I was able to paste hyperlinks into a document (using CTRL+C, then CTRL+V) and they would
show in the document exactly as written, ie: https://www.google.com/ (link in blue text and underlined as it should be).

Now, when I use the same procedure, the link (though still underlined and in blue text) shows as a title, ie: Google

I need this back the way it used to be. I do this multiple times a day, every day, and editing every link is NOT an option.
I haven't found any useful info in Help or the user manual.

Does anyone know how to change the default back to the way it used to be?

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. Could you please provide some steps?

I did provide the steps.
1 - I open a document
2 - I copy a URL from a browser address bar or text on a webpage using CTRL+C
3 - I paste the URL into the document using CTRL+V
4 - In the document, I see GOOGLE instead of https://www.google.com

I want "https://www.google.com" instead of "GOOGLE" to be the default for all hyperlinks in my documents
I don't know how to explain it any better than that.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it. All is OK on my end.
Maybe you have some software that is hijacking your clipboard. See the recording below using screentogif:

It pastes the header of the page when you copy the URI in Microsoft Edge.
If you want to paste the URI instead of the header you should paste it with "paste unformatted text" tool.

In fact, MS Edge causes this issue, but not Google Chrome.
So you can use google chrome or paste as unformatted text as suggested above (CTRL+ALT+V)

PS: Same happens in MS Word.

Thanks, but although I'm using Edge right now, it happens with all my other browsers, too - and I have a LOT of browsers.
Guess I'm switching office programs.

I use Firefox and could not reproduce the issue. However, when I tried it using Edge -- problems.

Don't switch office programs, switch to Firefox.

This is not TextMaker's fault. TextMaker uses what you browser puts in the clipboard.

People in this thread have given you instructions how to solve it.

Microsoft Edge has a setting that allows you to change the format of copied URI.
