Hello StoryMaps Team,
We recently noticed an issue when pasting text from a word document (our outline) to ArcGIS StoryMaps. When pasting the text becomes formatted differently than surrounding text and there is no way to resolve the issue. This issue persists when published- Please see below:

Please resolve this issue, or create at tool to remove other formatting (similar to other text editors).
Thank you,
Amanda Huber
