FAQ
Why can’t I copy or paste?
- Confirm that the document is already in edit mode.
- Check whether the document is read-only or whether the current area allows editing.
- If the issue continues, close the document, reopen it, and try again.
- If needed, check whether the system clipboard is being affected by another app.
Why can’t content copied from another app be pasted normally?
- Check whether the copied content is plain text, an image, or mixed content.
- Confirm whether the source app limits copying or whether iOS clipboard access affects the result.
- Try copying plain text first and paste it into the document to test the behavior.
- For special content types, use insert or import methods if needed.
Why does an image copied from a website paste abnormally in the document?
- Confirm that the copied object is an actual image rather than a web link or code fragment.
- If the pasted result is not correct, save the image to Photos or Files first.
- Return to the document and add it again by inserting the image or copying the local image.
- Check the final display result after insertion.
