4.0cB6 Bug - Pasting of HTML Tables into notes

2 methods, 2 differing results.. it looks like that html table component isnt (always) being importing correctly on a direct paste, so it dumps it as unformatted text..

I have always pasted stuff into word saved as rtf (to get formatting correct).. ..although wordpad does rtf, it doesnt seem to like tables. and as you can see, although its a pain,being an extra couple of steps it is working...

but direct paste seems intermittant..

table sourced from here Tom's link (http://www.orlmarionil.org/information/52_week_bible_reading_plan.php) same copy used for both paste actions.

The rich text editor does not support tables. The behavior you have observed is by design.

When you copy a table from the web page directly - Unicode, HTML, and Text data formats are added to the clipboard. Pasting into the rich text editor uses the Unicode format which doesn't contain any table like formatting.

When you copy from an RTF document the RTF data format is added to the clipboard and used during paste into the rich text editor.

Tables are not supported by the rich text editor.

I understand that, but I thought the paste process might have parsed and converted html tags to rtf..

I guess we have to use the work around via word..

Then why does the release notes for 4.0c beta 3 state, "Formatting is no longer lost when pasting text or web content into a note (e.g., bulleted or numbered lists)." http://wiki.logos.com/4.0c_Beta_3

I agree that the statement on its own is not correct. The context was some specific bugs when pasting lists within the rich text editor as well as pasting web content.

Perhaps it should read "Supported formatting is no longer lost when pasting text or web content into a note (e.g., bulleted or numbered lists)."
