Paste into notes with formatting

How do I paste into notes with formatting? I am using Logos for class notes and when I paste things in from any source outside of Logos I retain the formatting, which is time tedious to continue correcting. The normal cmnd+opt+shift+v function for Mac that is supposed to work globally only produces this <>.

    CTRL-SHIFT-V for pasting without formatting (or right-click to see the option).

    (Ok, I just realized you're using a Mac; not sure about the command.)

    Yeah sadly as I mentioned the version of that command for Mac doesn't serve its purpose in Logos though it works everywhere else. Thank you tho!

    I googled and I'm seeing the equivalent of CTRL-SHIFT-V is CMD-Shift-V ... what is the "opt" in cmnd+opt+shift+v?

    I believe "opt" is the "option" key right beside the command key.

    To my knowledge, FL discarded the ability to keep formatting in notes. I can't even copy a section of text that's already formatted in a Logos note and paste it back into the same note without losing the formatting. I've asked, pleaded, and begged, and they simply aren't interested in fixing this problem, unless you can cajole a sufficient number of people (what that number is...totally nebulous) that your problem is worth FL's time to address.

    By keeping formatting do you mean that say you copy your notes which are in Calibri size 12, and when you paste those notes into the same docuemtn they are copied from the formatting has changed? If so what does it change too? When I paste things (from anywhere outside of Logos) into my notes it keeps the formatting from the previous source, but I wish it would simply match the formatting within my Logos notes which is set to be a Default (Source Sans Pro) size 14.

    In previous versions of Logos, the formatting of my preferred Bible was kept when pasted into notes I created. Then, beginning with L9, nearly all formatting was lost when copying from Logos resources. Almost everything is pasted as left justified, regardless of indenting in the source. As I said above, this even holds true for text that is ALREADY formatted in a note that I try to copy and paste back into THE SAME NOTE.

    When I contacted customer support, they verified that what I was describing was happening, and then chose to treat my desire to have the program work correctly as a feature request rather than a bug that they had a responsibility to correct. I describe this treatment to everyone I have a chance to speak with about the software.

    If you cannot use the command, then use the right-click option before pasting, and it will paste with your default formatting:

    Left side is copied and pasted direct from the Logos website; right side is pasted using the 'without formatting' option.

    And many, many times to those of us on the forums for many years ... I don't think you've carried it quite as far I as do on Catholic West, Eastern Orthodox center, and Oriental Orthodox East a.k.a. Vulgate-Septuagint-Peshitta or Latin-Greek-Syriac as the fundamental historical view of Christianity.

    David Paul: I hear you. I didn't realize that there are others equally (if not more) frustrated with the difficulty of formatting Notes.

    I shouldn't and I don't expect the same formatting ability as in Microsoft Word because it will be too costly for Logos. But they don't think it is worth spending even a $ on this issue of formatting. 

    I believe in a Win-Win-Win God.
