Okay, I tested this on macOS and had no problems pasting in rich text to PageEdit using the Edit->Paste menu (and with shortcuts).

The key was where I copied from to load the clipboard.

If I copied inside CodeView, it would only paste it as plain text. But that makes sense as CodeView is not a rich text editor and only assigns a plain text mimetype to the clipboard contents.

If I copied it from Preview or any browser that I tried (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc) and tried to paste it into PageEdit, then it always asked if I wanted to paste as plain text and saying No, it pasted in the rich text just fine.

So this is controlled by the source of where you copy the rich text from as it assigns the mimetypes for the copied text on the clipboard.

Hope this helps.
