You can add text to a project using the standard copy and paste clipboard functionality. Additionally, you can paste text that you have copied to the operating system clipboard.
Copied text can be pasted into the program where text is supported, for example, into text buttons, certificates, questions and more. When pasting text as a new text block, the text block can be expandable to allow the entire text to be displayed.

The program will automatically create a text block with the pasted text, however, in most cases, it will need to be resized to fit all of the text. Double-click the text block to automatically resize it vertically until all the text is displayed. Alternatively, resize the text block by dragging the sides or corners of the text block to the appropriate size. See also: Moving and resizing objects |
To copy and paste text from an existing document:
Open the source document containing the text that you want to add to the project. For example, if you are copying from a Microsoft Word document, open the document in Word.
Highlight and copy the text according to the options available within the application hosting the source document. Most allow copying text by highlighting the text and typing the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.
The text is copied to the operating system clipboard.
Within the Publisher, click within the page in to which you want to add the copied text.
To paste the text, select the Paste OSC in the Clipboard group on the Home ribbon and select the Ctrl+V (or Cmd + V for Mac) keyboard shortcut.
The copied text is added to the project as a new text block..
