To add text from MS Word to a Joomla article

It is IMPORTANT that you DO NOT paste content directly from MS Word into an article. MS Word adds a LOT of formatting that will cause your article to look different from the rest of the content on your site.

Important – This procedure requires that you have JCE Content Editor ( http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/ )installed.

1.

Select and copy the text that you want to paste from MS Word.

Figure 36 Joomla Content Item Screen

2.

From an open article/content item in Joomal, click Paste as Plain Text.
See Figure 36.
Joomla opens the Paste as Plain Text screen.

Figure 37 Paste as Plain Text Screen.

3.

Use Ctrl+V to paste the text you copied from MS Word.

4.

Select Keep linebreaks to preserve the linebreaks you had in MS Word.

5.

Click Insert.
Joomla pastes the text into your article WITHOUT the MS Word formatting. You can now add formatting as you need it using the Joomla editor.
