I found an easier workaround. If you click to “Open in Companion Chat”, and then do your paste from Outlook/Word, etc, it does seem to work. Saves me from having to paste into Notes or a Text Editor first.
It’s very annoying issue and all walk-arounds seems to add extra step to normal workflow. So the best (and free) solution I found so far is this little tool that can be found in Apple Store: Pure Paste
Thanks, worked for me and at only 0.99p, bargain.
Any news? Is anybody in OpenAI reading this? Maybe there is a reason not to fix it, but can someone explain why such a mainstream use case it is not supported?
My solution is to hold down the Shift and Command keys while copying the text, then paste into ChatGPT with the normal Command-V keys. This option grabs a clear text copy and allows you to paste that FOR FREE!
Really annoying. MS online and ChatGPT for mac work well.
I use this work-around…
I paste the text into the Notes app fist, then I select all, right click and chose “Font >” then “Remove Style”. At this point I am able to copy all the text from Notes and paste it into ChatGPT. I hope it helps.
