MS Word Code Cleanup

Post by matterhornpat »

What is the best solution to remove the junk that hangs on when a client pastes from MS Word?

How do you all handle clients that insist on pasting in from Word?

Thanks!

I explain to the client what the problem is, then encourage them to take the extra step of pasting into Notepad first, then copying and pasting that into the CMS.

I thought there was a "Paste from Word" WYSIWYG icon ?

I often ended up with an empty window after Word-cleaning. I ended up pasting the code in the "HTML" or "SOURCE" window, leaving me with pure text. I then had to put the and in the code, but the typing was done.....
