Formated Pasted Text

Hi, 

I conduct workshops and want to prepare some formatted text  instructions ahead of time and post them into the chat during the session with the same formating I have in word. Whenever I copy and paste from word Zoom removes my bold and bulleted formating. Is there a way to paste text into chat with formating or do I have to reformat my text everytime? If I can, how do I do the copy and pasting with formating? 

Thanks
