When you paste text into the formatted text editor, Citavi automatically removes all formatting except for bold and italic. To keep all formatting, in the formatted text editor, on the Edit menu, click Paste formatted (or press Ctrl+Shift+V).

To remove all formatting other than bold and italic after the fact, on the Format menu, click Reset all.

Paragraph Formatting

For most purposes, it makes sense to apply paragraph formatting in your word processor, not in Citavi.

Alignment: left, centered, right, justified

Indentation: left, right, first line

Format > Paragraph > Indentation and spacing

Spacing: before, after, line spacing

When pasting text from PDF documents, you will often find that each line ends in a line break, disrupting the natural flow of the text. This is a nuisance when transferring the text to other programs. To remove the unwanted line breaks, in the formatted text editor, on the Format menu, click Remove paragraphs and tabs.
