Ok so you are happy adding content to your WordPress website, typing into the editor area, but what happens if you already have content in a Word document that you want to re-use.  Normal desk top word processing programs add stuff (code and formatting rules) when you copy text out of them.  You may not be able to see them when you paste it but its there and can cause all manner of problems.

We always advise that you add your content by typing it directly into the editor window, however we have two work around’s so that your text doesn’t get messed up with additional code.

The first method is simple – copy the text from Word or your word processor, then paste in to Notepad (you can find this on all versions of windows) then copy the text out of Notepad and paste it into the Website editor screen.

The second method is even easier, copy your text from Word, then in the website editor click the button that looks like this  if you can’t see it, click the button that looks like this first and the text button will appear.  Click the Text button and a window will appear, paste your text in the new window and click the insert button.

Hey presto whatever method you use, you’ve got clean text that will remain the same across all your website.
