Request: Paste text objects as text

[Sadler]

If one cuts a bunch of text objects and pastes them into Word, Notepad etc they are pasted as text and (by that nature) become a single text string. If these same text objects are pasted back into Xara they are pasted back as separate text objects or, if pasted into an existing text object, as embedded objects. One can cut the text of each object and paste it into a single string or one can go via Word to get a single string. Given that the text from multiple text objects must already be on the clipboard when they are cut, can we have an option to paste said text into a new or existing text object as a single piece of text.

Scenarios where this would be helpful:

1. You lay out a table of text using separate objects then (because you keep getting asked to add things to the list) you decide to control the line spacing etc using paragraph text.
2. You import a PDF and all text that should be paragraph text is split into lines.
3. In a page layout you have titles separate from body text but to take advantage of text flow you want to combine them into one paragraph object.

Importing a PDF does the same thing. I found a workaround by importing the PDF into Word and then importing the Word file.
