Copying and Pasting

  • Take caution when copying & pasting content from any source. Many times hidden style code will also be copied along that could break with best practices and introduce inaccessible content.
  • There are a few ways to avoid hidden style code from being placed into your guide. The rich text editor has a few useful tools to use. undefined
  • undefined This button will show a popup box that will strip out all text formatting and leave behind plain text. Best for simple text.
  •  undefinedThis button will show a popup box that will keep a lot of the original formatting from the Word document source. This is also the default behavior when pasting directly into the rich text editor. This does not follow best practices so try not to use this feature unless you plan to go through the source and clean up the formatting by hand!
  • undefined This button will remove all formatting from selected text inside the rich text editor. This will generally solve strange formatting issues you may find from copied text. This button will also remove hard-coded widths from tables that may overflow your guide.
