I see Atlantis now has html copy and my heart lept, but it turns out not to be html paste. I often want to copy an edited web page and print it (without menu etc... and now know i have to resort to Word or Google docs because Atlanticv can't accept a paste with e.g. formatting or pictures.
Please!

HTML paste
Re: HTML paste
No one else share this problem> Lots of people read, but no one replied. How can such a great program as Atlantis get so little forum messages? Maybe that's because no one has any complaints! ;-)mcleaver wrote:I see Atlantis now has html copy and my heart leapt, but it turns out not to be html paste.

I think that the most typical questions are addressed in the Online Help, FAQ, and other pages of our site (Quick Tour, AtlanTips, etc). Also Atlantis Word Processor is able to detect the most common problems and suggest automatic solutions (a good example is a situation when a user removes a spellchecker from the list of installed spellcheckers of Atlantis).
Copying HTML and pasting HTML are quite different things. In many cases the HTML code of Web pages is quite incompatible with the document structure used in Atlantis. Converting a fragment of a Web page to RTF might be quite problematic, if possible at all. When MS Internet Explorer copies a fragment of a Web page to the clipboard, it tries to convert the original HTML code to RTF. So the RTF and HTML versions of the original Web page fragment are both available on the clipboard. This is why you can paste formatted text and pictures from MS Internet Explorer to Atlantis. But other popular Web browsers like Firefox are unable to convert HTML to RTF. This is why when you copy anything in Firefox, you can only paste plain unformatted text to Atlantis.
