WordPress Example – Inserting Text from Microsoft Word

The following three text samples were created by copying and pasting text from a Microsoft Word document into the WordPress text editor.

The first sample preserves the formatting that appeared in the original by copying and pasting directly into the Visual text editing window. (This only works on a Windows PC, not on a Macintosh, as far as I can tell.)

The second sample keeps the numbered and bulleted list and the bold formatting but nothing else. It indents the bulleted list but not the numbered list, for some reason. This was done by pasting from Word into the “Paste from Word” popup window that is available when you click on the “Paste from Word” button in the Advanced Toolbar for the Visual text editing window. To see the Advanced Toolbar, click on the button on the far right of the text editing toolbar.

The third sample has only the text and the numbered and bulleted lists. This was created by pasting into the “Paste as Plain Text” popup window. The button for the “Paste as Plain Text” popup window is next to the “Paste from Word” button.
