Copy and paste

Post by rdwray »

If you copy and paste something into a "book" or other module, it may not be an exact copy of what you copied. To solve this do this:

1. If you have MS Word, paste the copy into Word and then copy again and paste it into the module. All hyperlinks and images will be in the pasted data.

2. If you do not have MS Word, download Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/download/). You need to use Writer and it works a little different. Select Menu> View> Web Layout before pasting your data. Now you can copy and paste into the module. Notice that the alignment of the pasted data may not be perfect, but it is all there including the web hyperlinks and images.

This will paste the images, links or any custom font that is part of the copied article exactly as shown.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
“For My yoke [is] easy and My burden is light.”

Let me add that this tip applies to content copied from the Internet, e.g. from Internet Explorer!
Thanks!
