Copy and Paste From Microsoft Word

How do you copy and paste text from Microsoft Word into your web site Content Editor?

The best answer is, "Avoid it. Type directly into the Content Editor instead." MS Word includes a lot of formatting code which simply does not work with online pages.

However, if you must, look for the button on the Content Editor that facilitates pasting text from MS Word. This tool should work fine in most instances.

 

Note you can only paste unformatted text - no pictures or fancy formatting. Make your formatting edits, such as bulleted or numbered lists, bold, or italics, using the online Content Editor:

  1. Copy the text from your Word document.
  2. Click the "Paste From Word" button in the Content Editor.
  3. A pop-up window will appear and instruct you to paste the text in the window.
  4. Click the "Insert" button.
