Tutorial : Pasting content from Word into the WYSIWYG editor
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hi Everyone,
I've come across a bit of code that I think will be pretty helpful if you're using Article Manager 1.40 and the new WYSIWYG editor. 
In the new editor there is actually a button you can use that will strip out most of the code that is added when you paste Microsoft Word content into Article Manager.
To add this button you'll want to open up /templates/interface/_interface.html in an HTML/Text editor of your choice. I'd recommend making a backup of this file before you make any changes to it.
I've also attached a copy of _interface.html with my post that you can upload onto your server and use.
If you're going to make the change yourself you'll want to find this line of code (it should be around line 185):
"JustifyLeft","JustifyCenter","JustifyRight", "|","Numbering","Bullets","Indent","Outdent", "BRK",
You can make a quick modification to this line so it looks like this:
"JustifyLeft","JustifyCenter","JustifyRight", "|","Numbering","Bullets","Indent","Outdent", "|","PasteWord", "BRK",
You can then save this template file re-upload it back onto your server.
To use the new "Paste from Word" button, simply copy your content from Word, click the "Paste from Word" button in the WYSIWYG editor and paste your Word content into the popup window. If you view the source of your content in Article Manager you'll see that most of the extra code that is usually added by Word is not there.
I hope you find this helpful and if you have any questions you can feel free to let me know!
Cheers,

Mike.
It is great news. I had troubles with font sizes. Different authors are with different adjustment in MS Word and AM is not fixing it to default.
Some fonts are bigger, other smaller. Depend of authors savings.
Hope after this changes will it working.

Hi Mike
Thank you so much for this add-on. I used to have to copy in word and paste into a text file and then copy again to paste into AM.
You have halved my work
Thanks again
Kind Regards
George

Suh-wheet!
You were just in time... I have a city gov't client going online, with hundreds of ordinance articles, ALL pasted from Word. They are doing this next week, and I have been sweating the formatting - this is just awesome.
Thanks so much!

I copied from Word and pasted into the wysiwyg editor as described above but for some reason a portion of the content gets <a name="OLE_LINK1"></a> wrapped around it. I guess the Office clipboard is doing this and that the paste-Word component of the wysiwyg editor doesn't strip this out. I was hoping that someone might have an idea as to how to avoid this issue from occuring again.
This link contains what is happening (go to the paragraph in red and you will see that part of the content is marked as a link and therefore has the visual behavior of a link as specified by my stylesheets):
http://www.baseballamerica.com/stage/college/features/3.html
This link contains what would be correct:
http://www.baseballamerica.com/stage/college/features/2.html
Thanks

Hi there.
Is there anyway you could post up the word doc you’re using here? I am not quite sure why that extra code is coming in just yet, but if I had the file to play around with, it would be much easier to narrow down a solution.
How does that sound? I look forward to hearing from you .

the doc is attached
Would you mind letting me know when you have downloaded this file and don't need it attached anymore? The content in that file is copyrighted premium content from my company and I would prefer not to leave it hanging out there too long.

Hi glevine,
I've taken a look at the document there, and it looks like the Word formatting option is working the way that it should. It's not going to remove a link that is in a document, as a link really isn't formatting. What this option does is take out any unneeded code from the document for you, so links will be preserved.
A quick way to get rid of this is to take the Word content, copy it with Ctrl + C, open up a text program like Notepad, and paste it in with Ctrl + V. Then do the same thing back into Word and then into Article Manager and you will shake that <a> tag.
The other option is to just open up the HTML view and remove it from there.
I hope that helps explain, but let me know if you need any more details.
Regards,

I started to post some articles using a Mac OSX 10.4 and Firefox 1.0. After using a Windows PC for the bulk of the testing I thought the Paste from Word button would work exactly as I needed it to. When I clicked on the Paste from Word button while on the Mac the window for pasting content opened and I tried APPLE+V, CTRL+V, and Edit-->Paste, but Firefox will not seem to allow text from Word to be pasted into the window. It also appears that you can't paste from Word directly into the Content form using FF for Mac. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? The documentation claims that a Mac/FF setup will work with the WYSIWYG editor, but this is clearly failing for me.

Hello.
One of my AM users also can"t paste from word to IE. I think the reason is some modification in IE or XP.

I think I saw a post around on these forums that might help you with that. I know I was successful with FF and IE on XP using the instructions above and some changes relating to the <br> tags.

I can't get it to work with firefox either. At least the paste from word dialog opens but nothing pastes into it.
I am running on windows server 2000 latest updates patches etc.
I'll have to remove the _interface.html
John.

Hi John.
Thanks for posting!
I must admit that I am not 100% why the paste from word button isn’t quite working for you here but if you wanted to send me in a support request I can take a closer look at it for you:
https://www.interactivetools.com/support/email_support.cgi
I have used the paste from word button on many occasions so I know it works and that it works really well. I look forward to hearing from you so we can get this all sorted out .

Hello.

Hi Andres.
Thanks for posting!
I am going to need a bit more detail on this one if you don’t mind though . Maybe we could just take a look at this through a support request:
https://www.interactivetools.com/support/email_support.cgi
That way, I can try some tests right on your server. How does that sound? I look forward to hearing from you .

Hello Ross.
I can write on support, but since it is only one user, I think there is something with his windows. Actually has he fixed problem, but I do not know how.
