Add a class and go to its documentation field 4. Copy and paste the content of the Microsoft Word documentation into the documentation field Expected Result: The pasted content is correctly saved in the documentation field. If the editor is not supporting the content, you should be prompted with a message such as 'Content formatting not supported. Use Paste as plain text option' or 'Content formatting not supported. The content will be pasted as plain text' Actual Result: The text appears in the field. Save the model and reload it or simply go away from the properties view. Once you go back to the documentation field, you will see that most of the documentation text is gone. (Only the bullets and the blank squares may remain). workaround: Copy first the text into Notepad. From notepad copy and paste the content into the RSA documentation field. Or use the right click option to 'Paste as plain text'.

This is not supported in our * * Rich text editor and hence, internally the implementation * * ignores the complete SPAN element and hence this portion was * * disappeared after pasting into the documentation. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Keeping only one font (first one) in the copied text while pasting keeps the content as well.
