Loss of paragraph mark on Paste to other apps
When I copy a line including para mark in TP 4.7.3 and then paste in e.g. Word, Wordpad, the para mark is lost.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround/fix? Thanks.

By "para mark" do you mean newline? Line breaks that have been saved as newlines ("hard breaks") in TextPad are always preserved when you copy text and paste it into another application. MS Word reinterprets them as paragraph breaks. Do you have word-wrap turned on? Are you copying wrapped lines that have not been saved with hard breaks? Check by turning on View | Visible Spaces. Make sure you have selected
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | <Class> | Word wrapped text: | Save with hard breaks
or
View | Document Properties | Preferences | Word wrapped text: | Save with hard breaks
.
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | <Class> | Word wrapped text: | Save with hard breaks
or
View | Document Properties | Preferences | Word wrapped text: | Save with hard breaks

I mean what Textpad calls "end of line/paragraph"
> Line breaks that have been saved as newlines ("hard breaks") in

These have not been saved at all.

Not in thise case.
> Do you have word-wrap turned on?
Yes, but the problme occurs also with it tuend off.

I am copying non-wrapped lines that have not been saved.

Yes.
I did this:
I selected Configure | Word Wrap.
I typed a long line that wrapped.
I selected View | Document Properties | Preferences | Word wrapped text: | Save with hard breaks.
I selected View | Visible Spaces.
I saved the document and observed visble end-of-line markers appear at the ends of the lines.
I copied the text onto the clipboard.
I switched to MS Word.
I pasted the contents of the clipboard into a new Word document.
I selected Tools | Options... | Formatting marks | All.
I observed the end-of-paragraph markers at the ends of the lines.
Which part of this didn't work for you?

None i.e. it all worked.
Whereas to show my problem, I did this:
1 In Textpad, File | New, and enter
aa[RETURN]
2 Edit | Select All, Edit | Copy
3 In Word, enter
bb[RETURN]
4 Click between the b's, and Edit | Paste.
What I expect is
b aa
b
What I get is
