This article goes over how to disable a feature that then allows you to paste certain formatting into your DIGIDECK presentation. To paste text and maintain the formatting of the text, you will need to uncheck/disable the 'Paste as text' option found within the Edit dropdown in the text toolbar. With the 'Paste as text' option unchecked/disabled you should be able to paste text as it was formatted on the area the tex was copied from.
Step 1:
Navigate to the presentation and slide that has the text you want to copy. From here, click on the editable text area and the formatting toolbar will pop up. Go ahead and highlight the text you want and copy it.
NOTE: You can use keyboard shortcuts such as CTRL+A (on Windows) and CMD+A (on MacOS) to select all the text in a specific area. From there, you can click CTRL+C (on Windows) and CMD+C (on MacOS) to copy the text itself.
Step 2:
Navigate to the next slide that you want to paste the formatted text into. Click on the text box and the toolbox should pop up again. Click the "Edit" option on the far left side and then select "Paste as Text". If it is enabled, it will show a checkmark. If it is disabled, there will be no checkmark.

Step 3:
After unchecking/disabling the "Paste as Text" option, you will need to click back into the text box that you are going to paste your formatted text into. You can use CTRL+V (Windows) and CMD+V (MacOS) to paste into this text box.
NOTE: This will paste all the content as it was formatted within the original text area, however, this does not mean that everything will look exactly the same.
If the original content used return spaces to break content up into new lines of text at specific places those return spaces will also be included, but if the content area does not use the same width those return spaces may need to be placed elsewhere.
This also will apply to fonts and text sizes.
Example: if 'Heading 2' was styled to be Ariel within the original deck, but is styled to be Helvetica within the new deck; Helvetica will be displayed when the content is pasted in. This is because the font is not attached to the text but is attached to the 'Heading 2' CSS styling code within the master style.
You may still have to play around with the formatting after pasting in content to get it looking how you want it to within the new deck.
