Exporting text - Format problems

[petner]

Yes, I tried copying directly from WD7 and my website and it does n ot preserve the formatting. Additionally the links are gone.

Hi blekk,
no, I'm not in a hurry but I'm looking for a way to do this on a recurring basis, so I'm looking for some solution for my work flow. It's weird, I would have thought pasting into Word would work, but it doesn't.

BTW covoxer, if you have a moment, you might give it a shot - copying text from my site and see what happens: www/the247newsroom.com. I just can't get it to work directly into WordPress, or by trying to use MS Word.

covoxer: I tried MS Word - not working.

What exactly is not working? It works perfectly here. It also works with WordPad or any other editor capable of handling RTF.

I said, copy directly from WD to MS Word. Did I say copy from your site or directly to WordPress? No.

Sorry covoxer - indeed it's working.
6) Save & Publish

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 119%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 119%; font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;; color: black;">6) S</span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 119%; font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;; color: blue;"><a href="http://abrakadabra.com.pl/"><span style="color: blue;">ave &amp; Publish</span></a></span></span></strong></p>

Well - there are many solution to clean it - one option is just "publish to blog", and wordpress is one of the choices.

This info was passed along by an expert Xara User:

Contrary to what he says, copying text from his website to Word *does* carry over the links. But it won't carry the same visual formatting because of the <span> tag used
per line in Xara for WYSIWYG formatting. Word doesn't support this.

HOWEVER

If he applies the special name *HTMLBlockText* to the text area in Xara, [click the yellow tag icon and add the name HTMLBlockText to the placeholder]
then the links AND the formatting will paste into Word.

Hey Covoxer..you seem troubled. I tried both and I was simply telling you that. It was my undertsnading that a moderator might want to have all the info.

thanks gwpriester

BTW gwpriester I just tried again copying over the text and links from WD7 into Word and the links do not carry over. I'll try the HTMLBlocktext approach.
Thanks
