Line spacing incorrect from MS Word

I have a client that I allow to change the content on her main page. She uses MS Word to create her document and then pastes it in. The results in the cart comes out as what looks to be double spaced lines. MS Format problem? Is their an easy way around this problem?

Re: Line spacing incorrect from MS Word

One should never paste anything into Zencart from any WYSIWYG editor, especially Word. They add a lot of junk styling that can conflict with Zencart's.

I know people love their MS Word, but you'll have a lot less grief if you show her how to use the Define Pages Editor.

Re: Line spacing incorrect from MS Word

Hi Stevesh,
How you been? Well I hope. Yes, I know. They like to get it all fancy the way it show in Word I'm sure the spell and grammar checker play into it, but it does not come out nearly as well after pasted. What about something typed up in notepad? Would that strip off all the Word type formats or be plain enough to paste directly in?
I will try to encourage them to type directly into the edit interface. You know how they feel warm and fuzzy with Word.
Thought Sparty would wrap thing up last night. Gonna make things interesting this week.
Thanks. :smile:
