Don’t like getting the text wrapped up in quotes when copy-pasting portion of a conversation in the Skype im
box?
Here’s how to disable this behaviour, and have Skype copy-paste work as it used to prior to version 4.
In the main skype window, visit Menu Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS
Press the button “Advanced Settings”
Select “Paste Message as Plain Text”
Close the options dialog by pressing Save. Voila’, you’re done.

Thanks so much for this! I was getting so annoyed with Skype every time I would paste something.
The same here. Thanks for pointing out the option!
How can I do this in a mac? Os X
Thanks a lot.
I have no idea why skype would even do something like that. A lot of frustuation.
Option doesnt work for me and a lot of other users! Still adds the persons name when copying –

Would love an explanation from Skype as to why they chose to make Copy/Paste so difficult. I imagine about 5% of skype users actually get around to figuring out how to fix it, which leaves 95% unable to C/P.
It worked ONCE. The next day after restarting the computer it didn’t work anymore.
Skype is just totally broken.Copy/paste within Skype was incredibly annoying, and I salute you for finding the solution. Thank you!

Thank you for visiting my blog.
