(just for note-taking) but I bring along formatting from the source.
I would like to match the formatting to my Pages doc.
Is there a way? as simple as Copy and Match fonts?

Hi 2weety2
I copied and then pasted your username. The hyperlink was pasted.
Hi 2weety2,
I copied your username and then 'Paste and Match style'. The hyperlink was not pasted. It follows the paragraph style.

Ian.

Hi 2weety2,
Menu > Edit > Paste and Match Style will do what you want.

If the source of the copy is the web, then your best formatting may come from first pasting into a Rich Text TextEdit document because it, not Pages, understands web HTML and CSS styling (to a degree). Then you copy/paste from TextEdit into Pages. This may never get the paragraph spacing correct though.
Thanks Viking. That works! Copied to Text Edit, app which I had to drag to my dock. Never knew what it was for even tho it’s pretty clear: TextEdit!
Once in the box I Selected All and in the tool bar I chose .9 from the Line and Paragraph Spacing drop down menu. DONE! Thank you!!!! This has been an annoyance forever. it will be very handy.
Thanks Yellowbox. I use 'paste and match font' all the time. It matches the font, but not formatting, as in space between paragraphs.
You are welcome.
I often copy bits of text and paste into my own Pages doc
