pasting text to create posting

Yes you can paste from the clipboard.

I paste in a lot of text using the clipboard from emails and Open Office. I use the “Paste as plain text” option. It is the clipboard thing with the “T” in it – just above the box for entering your text – on the second line.

The formatting does get lost this way but I had some real problems with just pasting from the clipboard. Some formatting carried over but not in the way I wanted it to.
