When copying a text from Microsoft Word, the text is encapsulated with many unnecessary tags that may break your web page design. That is why the built-in WYSIWYG editor allows you to clean the pasted text so that it contains only basic formatting.

2. Now place the cursor into a Kentico CMS text area and click the Paste from Word () icon on the WYSIWYG editor toolbar. The behaviour depends on the browser that you are using:

4. Finally, click Save () to save the changes.
