Copying Text from Other Programs

You can copy text to EPiServer CMS from any program you want. The important thing is to paste the text in a way to follow the graphical profile of the website. By pasting the text the correct way you will avoid getting formatted text into the Editor not appearing in the way you want it to. You have the following options of pasting text into the Editor:

	Toggle paste as rich/plain text will paste the text to the Editor as rich text by default. Toggle to paste as plain text.
	Paste from Word will transform the text formatting from Word into the website's style, keeping the page and line breaks from the Word document. For a successful result the headings and body text must be properly formatted using the available template styles in Word. When you copy text from Word and paste it into an page, for example, a "heading 2" in Word will be converted into the "heading 2".

Do not paste the text using CTRL+V directly in the Editor area, as this will paste it in with the format it had in the previous program. There is a risk that formatting code that does not correspond with the graphical profile of your website is also pasted with the text.
