Paul_Hardy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Please can some explain to me how I can post text content from MS Word into the Forum text editing window? Assuming you have used Copy in Word to get the text into the clipboard, then Right click in the forum editing window and choose "Paste" if you want the formatting, or "Paste as text" if you just want it plain. If this doesn't work, and you are using Internet Explorer as your web browser, then instead use a different browser - Firefox or Chrome or Edge - The forum technology seems to be broken in Internet Explorer at present.

Roger Hare Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Please can some explain to me how I can post text content from MS Word into the Forum text editing window?I think the following may work too... Select the text Copy with control-C Click in the destination window Paste with control-V I do this with Open Office/Firefox but I think it's independant of the software in use? Good luck!

Paul_Hardy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 ... Paste with control-V I do this with Open Office/Firefox but I think it's independant of the software in use? That works with most browsers, but doesn't work with this site using Internet Explorer! The current version of the forum software seems to intercept the paste operation and lose it. It would be good to get it fixed as several people seem to have had this problem, and beginners may well just give up. Do any of the forum admins know if it is a known problem and if so whether it is fixed in newer versions of the forum software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The features and strengths/weaknesses of the software are the work of Invision. I personally don't work with them. I think Paul has filed a few reports. My hunch is that they are hearing about this and may address it in a future release. One issue is some of the browser programs are notorious for stretching or ignoring agreed-upon standards in order to make new features others don't have. As you have demonstrated, compatibility is a moving target. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How extremely irritating!!! Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
