Copy & Pasting Text over from Safari or Notepad? How?

[Affinity iPad Student]

Trying to copy over a paragraph worth of text over, and place above an image I’m working on. 

 

1) I copied the the entire text field from Wikipedia. 

2) Open up Artistic Text field 

3) Long pressed on cursor, awaiting for “paste” prompt to appear. Nothing happens. 

 

Dont want to just drag and drop over. Want to be able to copy as text, so I may edit the text itself with different fonts and letter coloring, effects. 

UPDATE: Drag and drop doesn’t work anyways. Just tried, Text field appears, however, no text. 

 

What am I doing wrong here? Someone Guide please. Thank you.

Long-pressing doesn’t seem to do anything. Try tapping the Paste icon on the on-screen keyboard or the ‘three dots’ Pasteboard menu.

 

 If you’re copying more than a few words, you should be using Frame Text rather than Artistic Text (otherwise the text will run off the edge of the page).
