"copy and paste" question

[linh]

Hi, I have a quick question.

Over the years I have collected a lot of nice and long articles and save them into word in very nice format.
I find it ruins the format as well as very hard to read if I  just copy and paste such a great amount of text like that into "news" or "mediablog".
Is there any solution for this?

When you paste from Word copy it first to a real text-editor, and then again copy and paste into WB, or use the appropriate button in FCK or TiyMCE to paste the Word-text ("Paste from Word" or something like that). If you don't, all the codes from Word are part of the layout and makes it messy. Hope this is what you mean.
By copying and pasting this way the CSS layout is kept and by making a proper CSS layout your text can be as nice as in Word. A little bit of work to do, though...

Thank you for your reply, Hans.
Could you recommend me text-editor?

Also is there anyway to divide a long post, article, page of WB into columns just like in Word?
Please let me know. Thanks a bunch.

Best wishes..

A nice text-editor is Notepad++.

A multi-column layout of text is not possible at the moment AFAIK - I think it is planned for CSS3.

Thank you for your reply, Michael.
What is CSS3?

CSS level 3 is the upcoming version of the style sheets standard.
