For some of the blogs I copy text from my myspace page to an article. However when I do this I lose the text formatting the template had for it’s text. I find myself using apps like photoshop to match the color of the template’s text and then trying to find the right font.
Is there a quick way to keep copy and pasted text in an article in the same formatting the the template had for the demo site so that when I copy/paste it just looks like the original template formatting?

are you trying to keep the formating from the myspace page?
or are you having problems that the format of your myspace page is brought over to your joomla website?
It’s not limited to myspace, but copying text over from other applications or any text source – even another web page.
I just want to be able to past text without having to reformat it to match the way the template had the text. This takes a lot of my time.

copy and paste the text into notepad or any other plain text editor before pasting them into your joomla wysiwyg editor

jsliao is correct… just to elaborate on this a little further, when you copy from another website, or worse yet, MS Word, most of the time you will also copy unwanted code. When you paste directly to your Joomla editor, you are not only pasting text, but also formatting and other unwanted coding.
By pasting to Notepad first and then copy and paste from Notepad to your Joomla editor, you will not copy the unwanted code, but only the desired text. Notepad does not preserve the excess coding, only the text. This will save you many headaches in the future.
