Copy Notes from ICloud on pc and paste into Word as text

I used to be able to copy Notes into a Word document very easily. Now it will only let me copy Notes as an image. How do I copy text in Notes as text that I can paste into Word as text on a pc.

How do I insert an image into Notes on iCloud web? I'm a Mac user who now needs to get work done on PCs sometimes (no option of switching to Mac at work). Been using Notes for ages, was initially relieved that I could still access Notes on iCloud web... but now I find that I can't copy and paste an image into Notes on the web version. I'm finding it hard to believe that something as basic as this can't seem to be done. Am I missing something?

Turn iCloud notes back into TEXT for use in MS Word I make notes in my iPhone so that I can transfer them to MS Word documents for literary projects. Now I'm opening those notes in iCloud only to find that copying and pasting them doesn't work, because they're saved as images (PNG's) for some reason. Please help, as for some ungodly reason it seems that texts are made into images in the transfer from my phone to iCloud, which makes them unusable, and that I have to retype everything into Word looking at these textual images! I don't see any clear way to make them into the text which they should be... They're "NOTES" for Christ sakes, c'mon!

Notes on iCloud cant be copied when on my PC When I create a note on my iPhone and it gets synched to iCloud - I cannot go to icloud.com on my PC and highlight and copy the note contents on iCloud.com Why can't I copy the contents of my notes (I need to put the contents in a word document) when I am on iCloud on my PC if they were synched to iCloud successfully from my iPhone? I can right click on the contents and select "Save image as " and "copy image" but I cannot copy the text and paste as text into a word document.

Hey there SFBAY989,

When viewing your notes, are you attempting to use iCloud for Windows or only viewing the notes online through the iCloud website?

If viewing online, then you'll want to download the file to your computer so you can edit or copy text from it. Use the link below for guidance:

Use Notes on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Take care!
