How can I cut and paste a message to the chat window?

I gather that the solution to people using bots is that we can no longer cut and paste to a chat window? Is there some other way so I can compose a sane and legible message and then post it in the chat window?

    So - I am on a PC. I wrote my message in wordpad, which is a generic text app - and, like I have been doing since starting ESOTU about three years ago, I do a ctrl C to copy, and a ctrl V to paste. No longer works. So - I am wondering what happened, and if there is a way around it so I can compose messages to buy or sell stuff.

    The most complete copy text addon is TxtOutput and it is up to date.

    *EDIT* Sorry, I misread. I am not sure which would fix pasting. My pasting still works, but I have a zillion addons. Will investigate.

    You appear to have forgotton to hit the (.) and click inside the text box with your cursor before Cntrl-V.

    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    Copy paste still works afaik. Just make sure the message your are pasting is not too long because then it will not paste at all, not just paste till the word limit.
