PowerBI Text Box Formatting Terrible

Copy pasting text into a text box is terrible, it adds random new paragraphs and doesnt maintain the current formatting of the text box. Is there a work around or a fix for this?

    Ha Ha you neglected to mention anything about hyperlinks 

    There is sadly no helpful info here on how to copy and paste links
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-add-hyperlink-to-text-box

     

    I dont usually use AI for answers, but found this info. I have not tested it. Please try it.

     

    I appreciate you would like to copy and paste the block of text and hyperlinks, where as you will need to do multiple copy and paste for each. 

     

    Please accept solution if it works.
    In the meantine click thumbs up just for the helpful suggestion. 👍

    Thanks  😎

     

    To copy and paste a hyperlink into a text box in Power BI, simply: select the text within the text box you want to link, then right-click and choose "Hyperlink," paste the URL into the "Address" field, and click "OK"; you can also access the hyperlink option through the text box formatting menu and paste the URL directly there. 
     
    Key steps:
    • Select the text:
      Highlight the text within the text box where you want the hyperlink to appear. 
       
    • Access the hyperlink option:
      Right-click on the selected text and select "Hyperlink" from the context menu. 
       
    • Paste the URL:
      In the "Insert Hyperlink" dialog box, paste the URL you want to link to in the "Address" field. 
       
    • Confirm:
      Click "OK" to apply the hyperlink.
