[QUOTE="TanBrae, post: 1922958, member: 208843"] Well, I'll have to try that "Select All" thing again. If I recall, it didn't work for me before. And, yes, most of what I copy and paste is from websites, and I know about the HTML thing. I gave the FB example because that was where the mess first happened - copying text from Fb. The most frustrating incidences happen when trying to copy and paste from a photography site. I didn't have an issue with making changes with that text/formatting in my previous version of Pages, but this version... EGADS! So, disclaimer - I mainly copy and paste, for MY OWN use and benefit, from the site called Picture Correct. I save their articles, for MY OWN use, so I don't have to hunt to find them within their site. I have them organized in MY OWN folders to make them quick and easy to find as MY OWN references (I don't need any guff about copyright, etc. I learned about that in college, thank you. ;) ) If you go to that site, and look at one of their tutorial articles, you will see how their articles are formatted - TITLE - in color, large, all uppercase; author under the title, with a link for the author's site; then, body text with various text styles. Not all that complicated. But, my version of Pages... Generally, I change the title to be black and 18pts. The author's link is removed, and the font size goes to 12pts. The body text, for the most part, keeps any text styles, but all is changed to 12pts. Should be easy, right? Ha! ;) And, even when I tried "Select All" changed all font size to 12pts., color to black, it still did not work. I hope you can understand why I'm so frustrated! [/QUOTE]
