<title>Why didn't the text I selected copy properly?</title>
<p>
If you highlight and copy text from a document using the <app>document viewer</app> and then paste it into another
application, the formatting may alter. It may also contain different characters than the original selection. This often happens when copying text from a PDF document with multiple columns.
</p>
<p>
This problem happens because of how some document formats handle text.
The actual text in the document is stored differently from the way it is
displayed. This may result in a copy that does not appear as expected.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, there is no real way of fixing this problem. Copying
less text at a time, or copying the text into a text editor may minimise the problem. You can locate a text editor by clicking <guiseq><gui>Activities</gui><gui>Applications</gui><gui>Accessories</gui><gui>gedit</gui></guiseq>.
