I am usually preparing articles in MS Word for better formatting and more powerful spell and style checking. But when I try to copy a article from Word to WordPress I am loosing a lot of Word formatting (fonts and spacing).
Anyone found a good reliable way to copy from MS Word into WordPress editor window?
You not going to like the answer.
I’ve tried many methods:
– Used advanced editor option – “Copy from Word”;
– Copy to Word Pad and then to WordPress;
– Copy directly into editor window.Nothing works quite right. You always loose lots of formatting information.
One thing that works half decent is you use some kind of Microsoft Developer platform – Visual Studio for example. You can open a new blank HTML file, cope Word content into there, and then copy resulting HTML code into TEXT editor window of WordPress.
This will create a very close approximation to your formatting, but the resulting code is so messy and convoluted, that it is very unpleasant to maintain and work with.
Anyway, I ended up slowly re-doing all such quick “cut and paste” articles into well-formatted documents.
