Pasting Content from MS Word

Overview

In this video we demonstrate the best method of pasting Content from MS Word, or any other word processing software, into your WordPress page and post content.

It’s best practice to first remove the formatting from the Word document to keep the content styling consistent across your website pages. Simply pasting directly from Word, or using the ‘Paste from Word‘ button will also generate a lot of additional back end code bloat, which may cause browser display errors, increase page load time and dilute Search Engine Optimisation efforts.

Therefore, best practice is to use the ‘Paste as Plain Text‘ button to insert content, then use the toolbar ‘Paragraph‘ drop down to assign Headers and Paragraphs to your text.
