As for pasting, just choose 'select all' then 'copy' from the edit menu of the source document, open BD, then choose 'paste' from its edit menu.
The main annoyance of this method is that all the emdashes will appear as hyphens. There is a workaround: in the source document, use 'find and replace' to replace emdashes with #. Paste into BD. Then use 'find and replace to substitute emdashes for #.

Brilliant! Thanks, Patricia. Had recently had problems converting material from an on-line site that uses white lettering on a dark background. Loaded into BD the normal way, BD would run its normal routine, as you could follow at the bottom of the screen, and then produce one blank page. If you used the reformat command, it would give you the whole document, but sometimes the paragraphing would be dodgy, and it wouldn't reproduce italics. Tried one this morning and it worked perfectly using the "keep original formatting" command. The work-around worked perfectly, too.
And thanks to Harry, too, for letting us know that there was this option.
