Successfully Posting From Word!
-
This isn’t a question, it’s a realisation.
I was blog hopping and found Handy Solo’s (one of the mods at the .org) blog.
I found over there this tidbit about enabling more options with the Rich Text Editor.
Knowing that most things implemented on the download are tested here too, I came looking and discovered that by pressing alt+shift+v (Firefox) enables more options. Two of the new options are Paste As Plain Text and Paste From Word.
I haven’t tried them as I don’t have Word installed, but I am guessing that either of the options will allow a user to successfully paste their text from Word and it will remove all the dodgy MS formatting that is applied and screws up blog posts.
I hope this helps somebody and apologies if it’s been mentioned before!

Word is still not rec’d.
“I haven’t tried them as I don’t have Word installed,”
Good advice there :) -
Timethief – when the bar is officially revealed and I have information ready, yes. I would add it in a couple of places to the faq. Until then….. no…..

Thanks for the correct link Handy, I don’t know why it managed to put the w2box url in there!
