Why are iCloud Notes saved as images online?

I save iCloud notes on my iPhone and I really want to also use them on my Windows laptop. But when I open up iCloud.com/notes in a chrome browser and try to copy the text from one of my notes, it will only let me copy it as an image.

This seems crazy as it started off his text and I just want to take the text and put it into another program. Can someone please help?

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.

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!

Can't paste into iCloud Notes? Really? If I copy some text on my iPhone and select text in iCloud.com Notes there is no paste option. I can't find any way to do this. Shouldn't I be able to copy/paste text from one place on the device to another text area on the device? Does anyone know a work around for this? It's really important because the cloud isn't syncing correctly and I need to get my most recent content onto the cloud if possible. Thanks very much.
