SOLUTION 1 – “REMOVE FORMATTING” BUTTON
Once you paste your text in – select all the text (Ctrl + A) then click the little eraser button on your editor.
This will remove all the nasty Microsoft Word formatting and leave you with a nice clean article.
SOLUTION 2 – USE NOTEPAD OR TEXTEDIT (MAC)
Option 2 is to first copy your text from Word into Notepad (the web designers best friend)
Start Menu >Programs > Accessories > Notepad
This cleans all the formatting – then copy it from Notepad into your website article.
