When I copy and paste text from a book into a note with footnotes and links set to yes in the program settings, the standard paste works as I expect - inserting a footnote number for the source. When I paste again without formatting, as I expect the link is lost. However, I lose the footnote number linking to the source which I would expect to see.
[quote]a) In the wider sense the designation “Mystical Body of Christ” means the communion of all those made holy by the grace of Christ. These include: the faithful on earth; those in the place of purification who are not yet completely justified; and the perfectly justified in Heaven. Correspondingly, one distinguishes the militant, the suffering, and the triumphant Church.
Ludwig Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma (St. Louis: B. Herder Book Company, 1957), 271.
Note the lack of the footnote number 1 after "Church" and again before "Ludwig".
