How do I copy and paste some stuff off of a Google doc without it breaking a handout?

So I copied some stuff off of a google drive onto a handout for quick reference but it just kinda broke. The paragraphs just went on in one continuous long line and I couldn't really fix the bullets either because they seemed a bit off to me. Any help?

When I copy/ paste stuff from a text, pdf, or a site, I usually choose to paste as text (ctrl+shift+v) so that all the formatting is stripped from it then just go through it to set it up with the handout formatting. It takes longer that way but it works.

There are lot's of issues/limitations/quirks with roll20's text editors.  It's something that's been mentioned often and the Dev's have noted that it is on their radar... That said, you might have better luck by copying your google doc text and pasting it into another word processor (Libre Writer, MS Word, etc.), then copy that and paste into the handout.

or you can print or save as PDF and make a one page handout per page that you need.

Thanks, wish I checked back on this earlier because I just pasted it all one paragraph at a time
