It seems that in the 1.14.4 version it is not possible to copy a colorful text into a "Book and Quill".
As usual I wrote a text with ยง in a Word document. When copying the formatting code into a Book to Quill, the formatting codes disappeared and the font changed neither the color nor the format.
In the 1.13.2 version the process works perfectly.
Thank you for your report!
