Copy and Paste Text from OneNote mobile iOS app to the Messages App

When I try to copy and paste text from the OneNote mobile iOS app to the Messages app, it pastes an HTML file with the text instead of only the text.  This is a new issue. In the past, I was always able to copy text from OneNote, and paste the text to the Messages app.  I cannot find any settings in the OneNote app or the Messages app that would seem to help.

    I would imagine this is a safety net to ensure that all text, and an inserted photos or documents are included when sent. There are numerous other threads of complaints "OneNote not copying pictures" or the such.

    My recommendation is that if not multi-media is detected, then the text can simply be copied as Rich Text, and not combined into a sperate HTML document. Otherwise, it can default to HTML document conversion.

    I’ve been having this issue for over a year as well, on two different iphones.  Copying to another app and repasting into iMessage is a pain.  This used to work fine a long time ago.

    Two months since this was posted and the bug is yet to be fixed.

    Same issue here! Mine started with the release of iOS 13. As others have said, seems like the OneNote app needs to make some adjustments to work properly with the latest iOS's Messages app.

    I look forward to Microsoft releasing a fix for this.
