I use Textarea found on http://www.mytextarea.com to convert messy text from MS Word to clean plain text for pasting into WordPress. It works like a charm!

Thanks for a super “to the point” post.
I can never remember which tool to use to paste Word text into WordPress.

You’re welcome!

Stripping of the MS Word formatting removes everything, however – even if it didn’t do that, you would still be forced to upload the images, because those Word document photos are in your own c:/My Documents/My Pictures/ etc. folder!

There’s no WP plugin (that I’m aware of… anyone?), and this is the only way I know of to easily paste photos into WordPress and there’s a 2 minute demo video on the page. Works really well, and it’s great for adding a lot of photos to a page…

How can I get what I write in Word to KEEP the same formatting for my website ? Everytime I copy text, using the MS Word pasting, it changes the format and it become a nightmare to get the page looking the way I want it. Am spending sooooo much time on this. Frustrating.
Please help !

No, you can’t import WordArt because it’s not text – you have to save the wordart as an image, and add it like any other image…

I could not import “WordArt.” A blank text box was visible, but no image.

For some reason, your comment bounced to the spam folder, i’m sorry for the delay-

Anyway, if the formatting still isn’t right, then I know of no way to get it “correct” without first pasting from MS word into MS Notepad or WordPad, then pasting into WordPress. That box is supposed to strip out all Word formatting, but doesn’t always work, depending on your version of Word…

Thanks for the great tip!

One other question, when I import the doc in fromword, sections that are bulleted come out in very small type. How can I make it the same size as the rest of the document?

Thanks,
Jim

Luckily, it was the last post I had put up. As soon as I deleted it everything was ok.
