An issue I am running into is with the paste option on Microsoft Word. I am clicking on keep source formatting in Word when I paste text, but the format doesn't carry over from the website I am copying it from. This is a Firefox issue because the format carries over when I paste a website's text using Microsoft Edge. Hopefully someone can solve this issue for me. Thank you.

I think that Firefox only places the HTML code of the selection on the clipboard and this means that only inline style rules as set via the style attribute of an element are copied and not style rules from CSS files.
