hi
does anyone know if you can take a word doc lets say a sales page and paste it straight into wordpress and have it looking exactly like it was when it was created in word?
i have been using the word icon in wordpress but i still have to edit it to the way i like, is there another way?
thanks

    Can you post a link to download your word doc?

    I have a plugin in beta that should be able to do that.

    Once I have the doc I will see if that plugin still works for converting word.

    You can always just email it directly at -> climate@socialstats.org

    Good Luck!

    I am not sure if the fonts of wordpress supports doc fonts unless you are using common times new roman. Images should be uploaded, and other formats..

    Select 'save as html' and then paste the html code into your WP page/post.

    You may need to upload images separately if you've used them.

    It's quick and very simple so you shouldn't run into any problems.

    If you do - PM me and I'll help you out.

    can take a word doc [...] and paste it straight into wordpress and have it looking exactly like it was when it was created in word?
    Short answer: no, you can't.

    Longer version: the code in an MS Word document is NOT meant to be displayed online on the web. Even when pasted in online applications (i.e. text area of a CMS) it gets garbage code and quite often can cripple the whole WP installation. What the "Word" icon does in WP: cleans up part of the garbage from the code... hence the need to re-edit.

    Basically, I see two solutions only: you write the copy in a simple text editor, like NotePad or PSPad and format it in WP; or you don't use WP for sales pages.

    P.S. Andy's solution is a good compromise... (not that it creates good html code)
