Add text created in Word to your pages

Add text created in programs such as Word, to your Reason 8 website

Can I cut and paste text directly onto my page?

Cutting and pasting from your favorite word processor is a massive advantage of our DotGO business website builder.  You can preserve the layout and styling. 

You can, however there is an important consideration to make. Computer programs are all written in different languages;  like written and spoken languages the translations aren't always perfect.

When you copy text from one program to another, it carries with it some of the formatting (instructions on how to show the text) from the original program. This formatting you cant see, as it’s hidden in the code of the page. However it can have the effect of their being Gremlins on your pages, making your paragraphs and spacing difficult to manipulate. This happens because the imported code is giving conflicting instructions to the editor on your website. 

Did you know? - That even if you delete all the text from your page the formatting will still be left behind!
