Pasting titles copied from Microsoft Word 2016

A weird thing is happening when I paste text copied from Word into an existing title in Premiere.

The copied text will completely replace all of the existing title, even if I only have some of that title selected, or I have the cursor inserted in the title where I want the new text pasted.

But if I paste the text in a sticky note or notepad first, then copy it again from there, then that clipboard contents pastes as expected into the title without affecting any existing text.

Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour?

Can anyone guess what is going on here?

Cheers.

Sorry, I know this is an old thread. However, if you're copying text from a Word Doc within tables then you are copying the tables as well, even though they don't highlight. So that's likely to cause a conflict with the Premiere Pro Titler.

Notepad is a plain text program with fundamentally no formatting. Word is formatted in the sense that it allows you to do lots of things to format the text, use different paragraph styles, bullet lists, all sorts of stuff.

The Word stuff you use to paste into titles is not going to ever work nicely. Best to use Notepad ( plain text ).

Probably just confused the issue, but when you paste word into notepad it strips out the formatting stuff from word, and becomes plain text. You probably noticed that sometimes the text looks different ( carriage returns, spacing between lines, etc. ) is different once you paste word stuff into notepad. That's because it stripped out the formatting.
