The issue with pasting text directly from Word or another text editing software is that sometimes it also copies over the formatting associated with it. This help guide will show you how to remove the formatting once you have copied and pasted the content. Once it is then pasted into the Rocketspark text block the formatting is placed in HTML tags and can be time-consuming to remove. Shown in the HTML below is an example of some text affected by these tags (in red).
<p class="p-font"><span style="color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-size: 13.5pt">How do I </span><strong><span style="color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-size: 13.5pt">remove</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-size: 13.5pt"> the </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 13.5pt">formatting</span><span style="color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-size: 13.5pt"> from my text?</span></p>
If there are only a few of these tags they can be manually removed by viewing the HTML source by clicking the "<>" button in the top right when editing. The easier option is to paste the content from Word or other websites without the formatting.
