How can I write in word and paste in BC ?

Is there any way of writing in words and then copy-paste it in BC?

This is really helpful for writing articles or long posts.

Normally copy-pasting from words results in something like

I think there is no easy way.
Try copy pasting it on a note pad (save it as text if possible) and then copy paste from there.

Thanks. :)

I'll try that. Any other suggestions ?

I do the same thing Tiger_Eye suggested.
I type in Word, copy it and then paste it in Notepad.
Then again copy from Notepad and paste in BC.

Ok my earlier method wasn't 100% right. It still screws up the text a bit. So here is the correct way (you will loose all text formatting in word):
On the BC post editor click on this http://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/images/editor/switchmode.gif icon (this is at the top-right corner). Now paste your Word document it will work.

Clicking on http://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/images/editor/switchmode.gif icon toggles the forum editor between advanced/simple mode. In simple mode it acts just like notepad.

Thanks. Nasif Bhai.

It will be a great help for me.

Here is another way to do it which keeps your text formatting:

Copy/Paste your Word document into BC post editor.
Then click on the http://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/images/editor/switchmode.gificon. It will force your editor into simple mode.
Here you will see all the formatting tags. Go to very end, you will see this XML tag:
<o:p></o:p>
These will appear at the end of every paragraph (every new line Enter key press).

Remove those and post should be fine.
