Copying and Pasting Content from Microsoft Word
Sometimes copying and
pasting content from Microsoft Word can leave you with strange tags and
bits of code that change the formatting of the content. However there
are ways of avoiding these problems.
Pasted Word documents embed a lot of style,
css and xml code in the page area which different browsers handle
differently. In most cases, FireFox is able to deal with it, but
Internet Explorer usually is not. Additionally you will find that our
editor tools can not over ride some of the code that Word inserts, so
after it's pasted, you may not be able to style it, change sizes, etc.
In fact, attempting to do so often adds even more code to the page,
compounding the problem.
We
recommend that if you've created
something in Word that you want to copy and paste in the page, you
first save it as a plain text document, or copy and paste the content
into a plain text editor like Note Pad or Text Edit and then copy it
from the text editor and paste it into the page. Of course, for the
best results, type directly into the page using our editor, and
then style using our tools.
1) Open your Word document.
2) Highlight desired text & select "Copy" from the Word "Edit" menu to copy the selected text

4) Click
or
to open any available content area on your web page & place your cursor in the open content area

4) Return to your browser "Edit" menu and select "Paste"

*The text you copied and pasted appears in the open content area

5) Click the "Save" icon when finished editing 
** If
the text that you have pasted appears to have unwanted formatting or
you are unable to further style the content using the editor toolbar,
try using the "Cleaner" tool.
We have included a special tool in the tool bar
that may help strip out some of the unwanted code pasted from outside sources like MS Word. Be
aware that the tool will often remove all of the formatting from the
pasted content including type styles, sizes, alignment and table
structure. It's always a good idea to select all and copy your content
prior to using the word cleaner tool, in the event it does not produce
the desired result.
1) Highlight the new text in the Editor box.
2) Click the
Word Cleaner tool.
3) Save your changes
