Copy/Paste Issues with Mac Apps

[tbgb50]

I've used Word and other Microsoft Apps since DOS days but am trying to move to Pages, Numbers, etc. This is so basic, I might be doing something wrong or there is a setting I cannot find:

If I create a table in Pages, where one cell has a graphic, and copy it so I can paste in Notes, Email, and web forms, the graphic disappears.

If I have cell fill colors in Numbers the color is lost if I paste it in another app.

I even tried copying an Excel worksheet with cell fill colors and pasting it in Notes. The colors disappear.

Is this how things work or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Mine is the same. Sometimes, features in one app can’t be copied into apps that don’t support the same features. Numbers support for spreadsheet formatting isn't full featured.
