Hi there,  
when pasting simple Google docs into the composer we see formatting getting lost.  
Bold and alignment (left, center, right) get lost completely. Headlines get properly converted when marked as such in the original Google document.

The text below is pasted from a Google doc and loses bold as well as centered text information.

I paste the text directly from this Google doc:

# Heading 1

## Heading 2

### Heading 3

Some text centered

In publishing and graphic design, Lorem ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the visual form of a document or a typeface without relying on meaningful content. Lorem ipsum may be used as a placeholder before the final copy is available.

Strong text

**Other observations:**  
Pasting from a Word document converts strongs but also looses alignment information.

On our managed instance I don’t see the strong text to be wrapped into a B or STRONG tag, so I cant style it accordingly.

Any help is appreacitated.
