How Do I Paste from Microsoft Word without all the crazy formatting?
Microsoft Word does not convert cleanly to HTML, which is the programming language websites use to display information. This isn’t a problem with WEbook’s text editor. When MS Word converts to HTML, it adds all kinds of funky tags and symbols that you can’t get rid of unless you edit the HTML manually. These hidden tags can cause you to lose your formatting and bump up your word count. Avoiding this problem is easy. If you’re using MS Word, first copy your text from the document, then, using the WEbook text editor, select the clipboard icon with the W at the top. This will open up a small window. Within this window, simply paste your document, then select “Insert” to make it a part of your WEbook project. This will strip out the hidden tags that cause problems.
