The changed paste option is done by default, confusing users and the dialog is obscure. This part of Edge seems to us as Microsoft trying to be way too clever. It’s more common to use shorter or different text like “this is my favorite site for MS Office help” or “Try Office Watch – they have good info”. Rarely do people want to use the ‘official’ web page title when pasting. The changed link paste might make sense to Microsoft but doesn’t work out here the real world. In all browsers the web link (URL) is pasted like this īut the Edge default setting pastes the page title and link combined like this Office Watch independent help for Microsoft Office which might be OK for some situations but an annoyance in many others. ![]() Switch to another program (Word, Outlook or whatever) and Paste (Ctrl + V) the link.
