# Word formatting missing

 * I made no changes to MS Word or WordPress, yet I can no longer cut and paste 
   a document from Word into WordPress without losing all Word formatting. I’ve 
   made sure all the plugins and the theme are updated, and I’ve made sure the copy
   text only button is deselected, but the problem hasn’t gone away.
 * Is there a way to fix this?
 * Thanks.

 * Which editor do you work with in WordPress? Unfortunately, it’s not clear to 
   me from your website

 * Classic.

 * Then something has probably changed in MS Word. The Classic Editor and its interpretations
   of what is copied from Word have not changed for a long time. You could try it
   in the Block Editor to see if it works better there.

 * Thanks. I tried that and it didn’t make a difference.
 * In the meantime, I found a plugin called Mammoth .docx converter, and it fixed
   my problem.
 * I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

 * The problem is with MS Word – the Desktop version of 365. I currently have Microsoft
   ® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2503 Build 16.0.18623.20076) 32-bit. I 
   have been unable to copy and paste any _formatted_ Word into WordPress since 
   about November 2024. It comes out in plain text.
 * The fix is to use the 365 online version, which copies and pastes perfectly.
