Cut/Paste from Word to Classifieds. Can it be done?

[Maiku]

Has anyone else had a problem cutting and pasting text from MS Word to the classifieds?

I cannot paste my ad from MS Word to the classifieds. I do not want re-type four descriptions.

Can anyone help me cut and paste my ad from MS Word to the classifieds?

I actually do that all the time. I compose my ad in Word and paste it to the RFF ad template. In fact, I just tried it and had no issues. I just cut/copy a section of text from an MS Word doc and pasted it to the RFF ad template and it worked as expected.

Do you have any embedded formatting in your MS Word ad? Try this: Cut (or copy) your ad and paste it to another part of the MS Word doc using: Paste > Paste Special > Unformatted Text.

Then cut & paste that unformatted text to the RFF ad template.

Good luck!

Got it. I used unformatted text only. It worked like a charm. Thanks.

I have to envy you guys that know about such things. I wouldn't know a "formatted text" if I found one in a glass of beer!

Thanks for the heads up on this. I use Paste Special all the time, but did not realize you can paste unformatted text with it.

It's good to know this.
