Editing a blog in word.

When a cut and paste from word to blogger is attempted.

What happens is not the desired result.

If you paste into “Blogger HTML” all formatting is lost.

If you paste into “Blogger Compose” Blogger has a hissy fit and by repeatedly forcing after while may publish. Sometimes not.

There is a way around this but so long as you can cut and paste it is relatively easy.

The cause of the problem is that blogger does not recognise all the “Hidden Tags” that word adds to describe the formatting of the document.

So these need to be removed.

How do we do this?

Compose and edit your post in word when you are happy Save if wanted.

Copy and paste into “Blogger Compose”.

Click on “HTML” there will be errors, do not worry

Copy the error riddled code.

Open wordoff web page

(http://wordoff.org/)

Paste the dodgy code and click clean up.

Now copy the clean code

Paste back into “Blogger HTML”

Click preview to check.

Publish

If you need to edit a blog.

Click”Compose”

Copy and paste into word

Then repeat above.

So in conclusion,

You need to move to and from word via “Blogger Compose”

You need to move to and from wordoff via “Blogger HTML”

Compose is the pretty way we understand the text

HTML is the way web sites know how to put the pretty onto a web page.
