Why can't I copy and paste into html editor (file manager)?

[AM8]

When I want to add a link to my website it is time consuming to type the code each time. I would like to be able to copy and paste. I used to be able to do that - it looks like the program has been updated and this function is disabled - it only allows me to copy and paste what is already on the "source" page. I would like to copy and paste from the browser or word/notepad into that page.

What do I need to do?

It is such a waste of time to have to type everything.

start editing pages on your local machine and then upload them later.

Yes, it's an extra step, but far faster when first creating a page, especially HTML based pages.

Make sure to "overwrite" your files on the website.

Personally I set my HTML editor in IE to notepad. then all you have to do is go to your page on you local files, view source, edit, save, and upload.
