We had 2 projects on the table that needed attention, upgrade Moveable Type and install the Hybrid News theme/template. Our problem was we did have the time. We searched and found PRO IT Service. After reviewing their services, reviewing their portfolio and some Q&A we hired them to do the task. The result is, we are now up-to-date with MT and we have an updated site that looks GREAT!

How To Troubleshoot Text Formatting Issues When Taking Content From Ms Word?

I've had a customer complaining today that he has some text formatting issues when copying and pasting content that he wrote with Ms Word into his Movable Type v4.21 driven Web site.

The client was wondering if he is doing something wrong, as some other posts already published on his Web site were looking impeccable.

My dears, the problem is well known with a very large range of blogging tools and content management systems (CMS).

The work around this trouble is to Save the document As "Web Page, Filtered (*.htm, *.html)".

Troubleshooting MS Word Content Text Formatting

After choosing the new format, Ms Word will alert you that if you go ahead with the 'Save As' command you've just ordered will remove 'Office-specific' tags. Since this is actually the goal with going through this 'Save As' procedure, you should click 'Yes' on that alert window.

Troubleshooting MS Word Content Text Formatting Alert

At this stage you can safely copy and paste content from this new format document into your publishing platform, Movable Type or not.

This will solve your text formatting problem after trying to copy and paste content from a document wrote in Ms Word.
