[oXygen-user] Smart Pasting from Word

[Lee, David]

Probably wont solve your problem, but it solves many of my Office-smart-pastes-junk problems.
I keep a copy of Notepad open at all times. (actually have a keyboard macro for it).
Whenever I want to paste from Word or other 'smart' program,  I first paste into notepad, which is converted to plan *text*
THEN I copy/paste from notepad to the destination program.

All formatting is lost, but atleast bogus formatting is lost too.

Hi Eliot,

I do not know if and how one can customize what Word puts in the clipboard.

What you can try is to look at the XHTML code and see if you can do 
something in the conversion from XHTML to DITA. To get the XHTML content 
just create an XHTML document, switch to Author mode and paste inside 
the body element - the default 
frameworks/xhtml/resources/xhtml2xhtml.xsl copies all the content of the 
body element.
If you find a specific pattern for this content then you can handle that 
in the frameworks/dita/resources/xhtml2dita.xsl to convert it to a list.

Best Regards,
George
