Copy and Paste in Editor

When building pages using the COOLSite Editor, such as a freeform page, it is common that you will want to Copy and Paste content from other editing software sources. These other sources do not always build the content in complete HTML format which is needed for properly creating the website pages.  A common example of this is copying content from Microsoft Word and pasting it into the COOLSite Editor. The editor will accept all the pasted content but some of the content, only seen in the Raw HTML, will have additional formatting used only by that other source. This can cause issues when you are editing the page further. We suggest that you use one of the following Editor Toolbar Icons to correct these types of issues. You will need to highlight the text that you pasted and then click one of the icons below.

 

Paint Brush (Cleanup Messy Code): This will usually let you keep most of the structure of the content (Size, Bold, Bullets, etc.) but removes specific formatting in the raw html that can cause issues.

 

Eraser (Remove Formatting): This will remove all formatting and structure. It will leave you with the text only which you can then start edit using the COOLSite editor.
