Re: [Avid-L2] Cut and Paste Text from title tool into email?

 

Try copying into some kind of plain text editor first to get rid of any weird formatting, rather than manually deleting.
Then copy the text from there to your email.

Notepad on PC should do the trick - on Mac you can use TextEdit, but you'll need to change the settings in the preferences to plain text before you open a new document to paste into. Either that, or get on the Googles for a web-based plain text converter.
