Copy paste problem

Anki Help
1

Hello, I have a problem because I can’t copy and paste information from a word document to anki even though it usually works. I tried to change the format. I can’t copy and paste information that comes from a world file. What should I do?

“I can’t” doesn’t tell us much about what is going on.

  • What happens instead of it pasting successfully? Nothing is pasted? The wrong thing is pasted? It looks like it’s pasted, but invisible? Or …?

  • What does “I tried to change the format” mean, and how does it factor in to what you’re reporting?

  • Are you using the mouse/right-click context-menu items or keyboard shortcuts?

  • What if you try to paste it somewhere else, like in a notepad/text file – does anything show up there? If not, it might be a copy issue, like you’re not picking up what you expect.

What type of information are you copying and pasting? A whole paragraph, or just a singular sentence?

Hello,

When I copy and paste on Anki, nothing is displayed. However, when I copy and paste in another application such as Notepad, it works.

When I talk about changing the format, I tried to put my document in PDF, when I copy and paste on a PDF document, it works, but I don’t have the colors or the layout.

In addition, I tried the different types of copy and paste, with the mouse or with the keyboard and both do not display anything.

I tried both and both don’t work

  • Where are you trying to paste in Anki?

  • You say nothing is displayed – but can you tell that nothing is being pasted?

  • What about when you copy from other sources – can you paste in Anki then?

yes I can’t paste anything

moreover when it comes from another source than a word document, like a PDF for example, it works

I’m sorry, I didn’t see your reply.

There is nothing magical that Anki is doing with whatever you picked up in your copy buffer, so if there is something there that is paste-able in another app, it should be paste-able in Anki.

I don’t think I saw an answer to this one –

  • Can you give an example of something you have copied that doesn’t result in anything being pasted into Anki (but that exact same copy does paste in another app)?

我也遇到了同样的问题。我从Word中复制文字到anki，无论是快捷键还是菜单栏点击，粘贴到anki都是空白的。我同样试了从word复制到其他程序中，是没问题的

Have you gone through all of the questions and suggestions I had for OP? I would start with the same list for you.
