Copying and pasting on Avvoka is extremely simple - though you won’t be able to right-click in the editor at the moment to click ‘paste’ from a menu, you are always able to use the shortcut: CTRL+V (CMD if you are on a Mac).

Copying and pasting from external sources

One thing we’d recommend when copying and pasting from external sources like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any other external system is using a method called safe paste.

Safe pasting strips the formatting from your pasted content, so that it does not adversely impact anything else in the Avvoka editor. To safe paste, simply press SHIFT along with your normal copy and paste shortcuts.

So instead of CTRL+V, you are now pressing CTRL+SHIFT+V. (CMD+SHIFT+V on a Mac).
