They expect plain (“Latin”) text.Ī solution: this script converts text copied from MS word into plain text. The problem is that this carries all of the high characters (“smart-quotes” and the like) that MS Word makes straight through to the site - and most sites aren’t set up to handle them. Most of the time when I’m writing content for the web (for this blog, or a forum comment, or whatever), I’ll write in Microsoft Word for the spell check and other features that aren’t in a standard textarea widget, and then I’ll cut and paste into the form on the site.
This Word-cleaning functionality is showing up in more and more web editors, but people might still find this useful.
