Sometimes perhaps. Properties might come with by default when you are
copying a whole entity (marked with "^^^^", keep italics and underline):
<i>[...] you <u>also</u> want the properties to come with.</i>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But when copy a part only keep only some of them (underline, drop italics):
<i>[...] you <u>also</u> want the properties to come with.</i>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or drop even italics:
<i>[...] you <u>also</u> want the properties to come with.</i>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I do agree.

As a writer using common word processor I always thought the
application cannot do better and wrote my custom marcos or invented
tricks:
. copy affected text fragments into a DOS box
. mark it there again and
. paste it back in the application window.

Some are different ;)
