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

icon (this is at the top-right corner). Now paste your Word document it will work.

Clicking on

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

icon. 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:

HTML Code:

<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.
