I use AllMyNotes solely for research. I paste articles from the web. The articles are usually simple Ariel or Times New Roman in black with minimal but significant formatting which I need to keep, but they usually come into AllMyNotes with radically corrupted formatting. This is true using both Ctrl+V as well as with Ctrl+Shift+V.

Very often, a single paste will give me the following: italic instead of regular, bold instead of regular, center-aligned instead of left aligned, underlined when there was no underlining in the original article, in weird colors, lately red, orange, or a very light blue, and unknown fonts (most often "q_serif")--all in a single paste! Recently everything was highlighted in fuschia! It's not always that bad, but often it is.

I have installed 3.18 build 847, but the problems remain. I spend a tremendous amount of time reformatting and would be grateful if a solution can be found for this problem which has been plaguing me for over a year.

Basically it greatly depends on on source web-page and your browser, cause these days many web-sites use their own, frequently very over-complicated techniques to format HTML text. These days we perfectly support HTML formatting, and majority of CSS formatting styles, but do not support text effects programmed via JavaScript, C#, and similar languages.

Either way please tell me what browser you are using, and the URLs to the pages with most corrupted text formatting.

Thanks for your reply. I was waiting for an example with corruption in font, italic, bold, font color, background color, and alignment. One example is

I am attaching a screen capture of how a selection from the web page appears in my AllMyNotes. Also a screen capture of my AllMyNotes tool bar before pasting. I normally try to select only the article text and any accompanying pictures (only the pictures relating to the specific article). When this is not possible, I would later delete any extra parts (recommended articles, ads, pics not related to the article, etc.) appearing in the AllMyNotes pasting.

As you can see, there are many (unwanted) format changes.

I am using the latest version of Chrome. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Is IE better for AllMyNotes? I am suddenly finding that I am being told to use IE (my bank, Skype, various gov offices)......
