ShareQ: When I paste content directly from WORD, it comes out all garbled and messed up.
A: “What you see” in Word is not always “what you get” in CommonSpot. This is because Word appends numerous “trash” HTML tags to text that CommonSpot – and some browsers – do not interpret the same way Word does. When this happens, the browser makes a “best guess” at displaying the content, which almost always is NOT what you wanted.
To prevent this:
Say YES When you are asked if you want to clean it first of all the formatting tags that are specific for Microsoft Word.
You can think of the Paste from Word command as a combination the Paste command and the Clean Word Markup command. If the content you copied from Microsoft Word includes images, when you paste it in the Rich Text Editor area you’ll notice that images are replaced by a generic placeholder so that you will not lose track of them and their position. This way you can easily upload and then insert the needed images in the page.
You may lose some of the specific formatting, but you will get clean, editable formats for your web page.
