Pasting from Microsoft Word

When pasting text from Microsoft Word, do not use CTRL+V as this will not only paste your text but also a lot of invisible code and formatting.

Paste from Word

This method will filter out most of the Word code before pasting it into the editor. This is usually the best option.

Track changes and comments

Any text from a document which has used Track changes will be a problem when you paste into the on line editor. Before commencing this process please:

• Turn off track changes;
• Delete all comments;
• Accept all changes.

Paste as plain text

This method will paste the text only - any formatting will be lost. Use only when Paste from Word achieves undesirable results. Any required formatting can be applied using the formatting buttons in the editor.
