Re: [Serna] Feature request - copy/paste from external applications

Hello Seraphim,

Serna does not have this functionality now. We'll add it in our future
feature-list.

By now, we may suggest you the following work-around:
  - copy formatted content in some application
  - select a portion of document with place where you are planning to
paste the formatted content (in Serna)
  - call Edit -> Edit Selection as Text
  - paste your formatted content in the appropriate place, press OK ->
Serna inserts the content with tags.

Have you any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.
Regards,
Daria Chernova
