Hi @jockoe
What happens if you do Paste from Word? Does it work at all? It is buggy at the best of times, but it usually works.

First, I’ll describe the text I prepare in Word. I write the word “Alert!” in size 48 font. It is red and bold. Followed by another line of regular text.
I go to the “Popup” menu in the WordPress dashboard and edit an existing popup. In the “Popover content” I click the button for “Paste from Word”. I copy and paste the text I prepared in my Word document. It looks like it should when I paste it. I click the “Insert” button to insert the formatted text into the “Popover content” and it loses some formatting. When inserted, both lines of text are normal size and “Alert!” is no longer red. Though it is still bold.

Hi @jockoe
I’m afraid that this is normal, the whole point of the paste from word button is to strip the incompatible formatting. For things like color and size, you will have to manually add those again. It preserves Bolt, Italic and Underline but I’m pretty sure it’s not intended to preserve colors and sizes I’m afraid.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for clearing it up for me. I was not understanding the way it works. I was thinking I (clients) could format the text in Word and then past it to the popup, which I suspect would make it easier for them..
