Bug: Prism Mac. Text objects pasted from Word retain paragraph formatting that can not be removed in Prism.

 When you copy and paste a block of text from Word (and probably some other programs), Prism Mac 5.0b remembers the paragraph formatting (such as margins) that belong to that text object. This can make editing very frustrating. You try to center the text in the text object, but Prism leaves an extra margin, so the text is not centered. You try to prevent word wrapping, but Prism wraps to leave extra space as specified in Word.

The work around is to paste the text into Text Edit, in Plain Text mode (Choose in the Format menu). Then copy and paste into Prism.

This bug will be fixed in 5.0c.
