Instructable Editor Cut and Paste Solutions

I much prefer to prepare my Ibles in a word processor, Word 2003 in my case. For the Ibles themselves, it works OK because when the editor saves the job, it strips out hidden Word formatting.

People probably already know these and they may exist somewhere in Instructables but I did not specifically find them. If they do exist elsewhere, let me know and I will delete any duplication.

Comments don’t go through any intermediate steps and come out with wonkey formatting

Keywords were an “iffy” proposition.

So far we have:

Works

MS Word 2003

MS Word 2000 9.0.2720

Open Office 4.1.1

LibreOffice 5.1.3.2 Windows

Doesn't work

LibreOffice Version: 5.0.5.2 Linux

Step 1: Comments Solution

Copy and paste as normal. Highlight everything you pasted. Hold down the Control key and press the C key to copy. Without doing anything else, hold down the Control key and press the V key to paste. This will strip out the hidden formatting. Post the comment.

Also, CTRL+X: Cut and CTRL+Z: Undo can be helpful in preparing the text.

Step 2: Keywords Solution

Paste as normal or hold down the Control key and press the V key to paste. Scroll to the first comma. Over type the comma and it will break out all of the keywords into the standard format. It is ready for Publishing.

Hi, I just tried it with LibreOffice 5.1.3.2 for Windows and it worked fine. Can you give it another try?

Make sure you highlight the entire entry. Word processors like to stack formatting at the very end. After highlighting, the Editor formatting box should appear. Ignore it. Hold down the Control key and press the C key to copy. The Editor formatting box should disappear and the highlighting still remain, Give it a count of three and hold down the Control key and press the V key to paste. The highlighting should go away. Post the comment.

At least it will answer a Linux vs Windows question.

Disappointing. Yep, it maintained the manual line break symbols that raw Word pastes have.
