How do I ACTUALLY keep source formatting when pasting in OneNote?

Hi I have searched for answers and I cannot find one! I have updated my settings for one note: Default paste option: Keep source formatting... But it does not work!

I am using OneNote for Mac, Office 365, Version 16.64 2022.

I am attempting to copy text from the web and paste into OneNote with source formatting. When I even select paste with source formatting it does not work either.

I am using Safari.

I am also noticing some of my pictures I paste do not come across they paste the same picture over and over instead of the different pictures or it does not copy videos.

I attempt to copy from safari and paste it into word and it keeps the source formatting but not the videos.

    Hello JacquiW55

    The only way to paste an exact copy of a page is pasting a screenshot. OneNote does not support the CSS and scripts used for web page layouts. It should keep the fonts.

    You can get a link to the video and paste it in the note - but only videos from certain sites can be embedded - and Microsoft.com is not one of the sources. https://support.microsoft.com/office/insert-online-videos-in-onenote-for-windows-10-bea22b6e-04dc-4f3d-a04b-bdeb26f3f522
