Issue Description
Text has many formatting properties such as Font, Color, Spacing, Indent, Bullets, Numbering, etc. This formatting is applied by rich text editors such as Word, Pages, etc. and also by Websites and PDF files. If you ever Copy text from one source into another, it is highly possible the text has some formatting attached to it and could result in some odd ways that the text displays and it can be frustrating if the formatting cannot be adjusted in the target application. This can happen in most programs, Archicad included.
TIP: Even if you didn't paste something into Archicad recently, text boxes in your project could still carry formatting from your template if any text was ever pasted in the past.
