If you’ve been using WordPress for long, you know that if you try to simply copy and paste something from Microsoft Word into WordPress, you’ll get a big mess … your theme (aka template) will get messed up … if you’ve used colors or different fonts in the Word document, you’ll see all shades of wierdness in WordPress.
In the process of helping out a client, I think I’ve found a solution to this problem … it’s called the WordPress Plain Text Plugin.
Here how it works: After you install it, you copy your text from your Microsoft Word document, then toggle over to your WordPress window and “Write Post” … in the WYIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor located underneath the Title box, you’ll see a couple new icons … with your mouse, hover over then to the “Paste from Word” one … click that … then paste your text into there and click “Insert.”
