When I create content and copy it into form when published it has a lot of code at the top how do I stop this ?

The FCKEditor used in this site has a number of functions to help with this issue.

 

They are the copying tools  although you can copy text created in a text editor, like notepad via [Ctrl]+[c].

 

1.       If you document was created in MS Word Copy your text  in the normal way  

2.       Move to the content creation from and select the   icon

3.       A text box will open like the one below move the cursor to the ext box press [Ctrl] + [v] keys

4.       Make sure the Ignore Font Face definitions checkbox is ticked

5.       If you have no bullet points include you can check the Remove Style definitions check box.

6.       Click ok

7.       All font and formatting data copied from the work document is now striped out of the text.
NB. If there are any images to be added they will need to be uploaded to the server if not already done so.   See FAQ adding pictures to content for help with this.

8.       Now preview the document and you will see your content without all the additional code.

 

 

There is another way you could just copy and paste. Preview and the use the “ switch to plain text “  this will switch the editor view and you can manually remove the unwanted data – Beware this is not for the feint hearted and it’s better to use the method out lined above
