You won’t believe this. I went to the same email which would not copy two days ago, or this morning before I posted the above.
It works for you, but it does not work for me, lateral thinking time.
For the FIRST TIME EVER, I opened Libre Office’s “Impress” as I guess it is different to Writer, but capable of holding text (maybe). I selected just the first line of the mail **, ctrl-C then in the Impress box, ctrl-V. There it was.
I deleted it, selected ALL the wanted email text, and again transferred it to Impress, and there it was.
Now for more lateral thinking. Open Writer, ctrl-V, and there it is again.
I still don’t know if it is “just working” once more by coincidence, or if opening Impress was relevant. No doubt I will find out in due course, but for now it is working.
** The reason I only tried one line is that there have been occasions when copying a whole article would not work, but a paragraph might, but sometimes only sentence by sentence.
Les.
Still time to edit. I saved my Writer document and closed it. I then returned to the Impress item, selected all except the first line (to ensure the original not in memory still), opened Writer, ctrl-V, and NOTHING happened. More to think about, not sure any of it makes sense.
