Copying indented text from NICNT reverses indenting in notes
I created an annotation to Luke 24:23b in the NIV and copied the text from the NICNT on that passage (see graphic):
The result is this:
Notice the text is reverse justified, past the left visible margin (with no scroll bar at the bottom of the text box). A lack of formatting is one thing (and I expected it) but this is more than a lack of formatting. The top line of the copied text appears correct, as does the last line. Both of these lines are from the non-indented portion of the quote. Somehow the copy/paste protocol is not correctly handling all the formatting codes.
Looking at the formatting codes in WordPerfect suggests the cause: On the first line of the indented text there is a vertical advance code (expected), followed by a first line indent code of -0.25, followed by a left margin adjustment of 0.5. It looks like the note module accepted the first line indent code but not the left margin adjustment code. The other lines are handled with left margin adjustment codes, all of which are ignored by the note module. You will also notice that the very first line of the quoted text in the note is indented. Once again WordPerfect shows that there is an first line indent code of 0.25 (positive vs. negative this time).
It would be helpful to either strip the first line indent codes from text pasted into the note module, or to also allow margin adjustment codes to be imported and handled properly.
(BTW, interesting observation on structure of the pericope by Green.)
