How tf do I paste format?

[Mcplums 1]

I'm having an issue that is driving me insane. 

As we all know, Evernote has refused to add a paint format feature for some reason. therefore, if I want a section to have specific formatting, I paste the text that already has the correct formatting to copy it to the relevant section. 

Unfortunately, it always changes the formatting to match the location it is pasted to. It does this even if I'm copying from textedit (i.e. with no formatting). 

What's the solution to this?

Hi. Why does the fact that Evernote didn't provide your favourite feature yet equate to "refused to add" it?  Up till a few months ago Evernote didn't have the ability to offer much in the way of editing options - different OS's and OEM'd devices have different ways to show text styles.  As of now,  they might be able to - but the company stay typically close-mouthed about what's in the pipeline apart from 'coming soon' items (for lengthy definitions of 'soon'). 

Plus they are a little busy adding features back into v10 and dealing with user queries and comments right now...

Meantime there are work-arounds...  which largely involve using Legacy to create a note with your ideal style sections and making that a template,  or using a word-processor to host the document.  Obviously depends on exactly what you're trying to do, and where that appears in a note. 

...Or just using the formats that are available.

The EN editor is by design reduced in its possibilities. This makes it easier to offer cross platform capabilities.

Pasting format from other applications will collide with these restrictions.

Pasting format between EN notes would be a nice feature - maybe with one of the next releases. For me it would not be a top priority, since EN is not a lay outing tool, and does not try to be one. If I need good formatting, I use a word processor or a layout program.

Thanks for explaining

I added 'refused to add' because I was annoyed I could not paste formate and saying 'refused to add' made me feel better!
