Copy/Pasting from Microsoft Word
Copy/Pasting from Microsoft Word or other text processing software, can bring along formatting from the original document which could affect existing content and layout of the page. To get around this you can use the Paste as plain text button in the WYSIWYG Toolbar or, if not supported, use the following keyboard key combination to paste as plain text: Ctrl + Shift + V or Cmd + Shift + V on Mac
