# Windows 8 coding issues?

 * One of my writers is having issues submitting clean copy that isn’t ridden with
   Microsoft code. I have all my writers follow the same procedure:
 * 1. Write copy in Word or word processor of choice. (He’s using Word through Google
   Docs).
 * 2. Save as plain text.
 * 3. Open in Notepad
 * 4. Copy and paste into WordPress.
 * 5. Format (Bold, italics, links, yadee, yadee).
 * No one except him has this issue where there is code all over the place, plus
   the article is usually in there twice because he says it always takes two tries
   to cut and paste it from Notepad into WP.
 * The only difference I can figure out is he’s using Windows 8.
 * Is anyone else having issues generating plain text into WordPress from Windows
   8?
 * Am I missing something obvious? We’ve tried everything I can think of to fix 
   this, but his posts are a mess.
 * Thanks!

 * What do you mean by code all over the place?

 * I mean <span> and <div> tags among other things that I have seen when people 
   cut and paste directly from Word into a CMS. Example. Here’s the first graph 
   of his post today:
 * <div style=”width: 1px;height: 1px;overflow: hidden”>DIAMOND STOCKS: Twins’ Sam
   Fuld Back In The Fold</div>
    <div style=”width: 1px;height: 1px;overflow: hidden”
   >Each week in Diamond Stocks, we look at five players whose fantasy stock is 
   soaring and five players on the downward slope.</div> <div style=”width: 1px;
   height: 1px;overflow: hidden”>FIVE UP</div>
 * What a mess! I have to remove all that coding before publishing.
 * Any similar reports from Windows 8 users? That is the only unique thing I can
   figure out that is causing this, because no one else has this issue.
 * Thanks!
