Special functions
Pasting from Word, Excel, Skype etc..
Useful if you want to produce a complex table really quickly,
as you can paste from Word or Excel and 'create your website'
will produce a good effort of reproducing the table complete with
formatting.
A note of caution: you will also introduce
spurious formatting, more appropriate for use on text documents
in word processing. By doing this it can cause you to have formatting
problems. We advise you first paste into notepad, then highlight,
copy and repaste into your web page to avoid bringing in anything
other than straight text. In this way, you know you have clean
text.
Paste from web pages
You can cut and paste straight from a web page. Highlight
the web page and copy it [ctrl]+[c] and then paste into the page
editor - place the caret into the page at the point you wish to
paste and paste [ctrl]+[v]. Fonts, and tables will largely be
preserved, as will absolute references back to images (that means
these will be on someone else's web site) and any links will be
preserved also.
Alternatively highlight the area on the web page
you require and then, with the mouse pointer over the highlighted
area simply drag the mouse (holding the left button) into the
page editor page.
NB: Copying from web sites has copyright implications.
Make sure you have permission from the site owner before copying
text and images from a site.
