How can I paste into a new note a text coming from another application?

In Screenwriter, you may create a note (Control+N), then use the EDIT > Paste into Current Element (OPTION+Command+V).  When you copy the text -- don't include the end-of-paragraph mark.  If what you are pasting is less than a paragraph, then you should not get the import dialog.

If you want to copy multiple paragraphs and insert them into your document as notes:

• Create a blank like of Action. 
• Copy the text in the other application, then Edit > Paste in Screenwriter. 
• The "How Should I Interpret This Text?" dialogue window will open. 
• Choose "Import Text as Action Only", and press OK. 
• For each paragraph imported:
  • Move the cursor into the paragraph
  • Change the Action element into a note by selecting it either from the drop-down menu in the tool bar, or by using the Format > Change Element Type > Note menu command.
