Working with Affinity Publisher on documents, there are times that I want to save several pieces of formatted text to the clipboard for later pasting.

The simple Copy/Paste operation works perfectly, however, if I use the Windows 10 utility that allows me to access the clipboard history or use some third-party tool, I always get garbage in the paste operation.

There is no way to store different pieces of text in the clipboard history and reuse them when needed.

There appear to be known issues with using the Windows clipboard history feature with Affinity. I'm not sure what the difference is between these logged issues but here are the links.

Hi @Ballshamin,

This seems to be working here...

It’s working for me, in the same way that it’s working for Hangman in the above video, however only the text seems to be ‘coming through’ and any special formatting is lost.

I don't know if there's anything that Serif can do about this if it's a problem with the clipboard itself.

For me, it appears that only the last item copied to the clipboard maintains its formatting...
