Audio transcription malfunction, hard line breaks partway across every line
Recently when I have copied .wma audio transcripts from Dropbox to a Word document, the text inserts a hard line break on every line of the page about 2/3 horizontally across the page, with breaks landing in mid sentence. It never used to do this.
The previous transcription format wasn't all that great either, and needed a certain amount of cleanup, but this latest glitch makes the transcribed text almost impossible to work with.
Needless to say this is very annoying, as I use the transcript feature a lot. Could this problem please be addressed?

Hey LadyBug17,
The team has come up with a couple of steps for you to try.
If you’re on a Mac, select the text you want to copy first and then press cmd+shift+v.
For Windows users, just highlight the text you want to copy and then you should use ctrl+shift+v instead.
This should help you maintain the formatting.
Would this help you ?
Let us know if you need any further help.

This did not change the format...On a Mac...The format stays the same with or without transcript details highlighted. Is anyone else having this issue? I have been using Dropbox to copy transcript since June with no problem....until October.
