Author Using MS Word to author
Pete

I've been doing tests on how we can use Word to author
contents. We want our authors to create content using the
web author. What usually happens is they cut a formatted
document in Word and then paste it in the
HTMLPlaceholder. Word carries everything with it
including inline styling and when previewed the content
is formatted using the Word inline styling instead of the
css we've created (that's in our <head> part.)

What have users been doing in similar situation as ours?
What do you suggest we do? We don't want to use Authoring
Connector with Word as our users are in different
locations.

Hi Pete,

implement a custom placeholder control that strips out the content.
Something like this:

You might have to adjust this sample to your needs depending on the tags you
want to remove.

Cheers,
Stefan
