Thank you. EDD support said they were unable to help since another plugin was involved. I discovered that the ad placement “Between Comments” is causing the issue. I tried excluding the EDD page and a variety of other settings in Ad Inserter. However, it seems that running ads within (before/between/after) Comments does not play well with EDD Reviews. Any suggestions? (I am not a programmer.)
Thanks for the plug-in — working perfectly so far. The problem with inserting link titles started just today, at the moment a cat jumped on my keyboard! I was going nuts trying to find out if a setting had changed in WordPress. I use link titles extensively and have read that they are valuable for SEO. Weird coincidence, happy outcome. Thanks again for an easy solution.

I’m using MS-Word 2010 on Win 7 64-bit OS. Browser is Firefox 29.0.1. Also have tried Chrome 35.0.1916.114 m with same results. The posted page includes bold heads, hanging bullets, and two tables — one with a visible grid, one with no grid. I’d be happy to share the original Word doc, but not sure how to do that on this forum. Any suggestions?
Thanks for following up on this.

In reply to: Unable to paste rich text in WP 3.9I tried pasting from Word (onto a page, not a post) with the paste-as-text option on and off and seem to get the same results — most formatting is lost. In the previous version of WordPress, I could even paste tables from Word and they would look pretty good. It would be great to get this functionality back. The WordPress.org developers seem to think that MS Word coding will cause problems when pasted into WordPress. My site has over 100 pages of content pasted from Word and not a single problem. If anyone is listening at WordPress.org, please bring the “Paste from Word” function back as an option for those who depend on it. Most WordPress users, like myself, are content creators (formerly called “writers”)and not programmers.

In reply to: Unable to paste rich text in WP 3.9Jeff,
You are having much better luck than me, so whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. If I paste from Word into WordPress 3.9, I lose pretty much all formatting. I especially miss the ability to paste tables from Word and have not found a good replacement. I’ve tried the TablePress plugin a bit, but so far don’t find it that useful for my type of content. BTW, what version of Word are you using?
A few people on the this forum suggested pasting into WindowsLive, which then posts to WordPress once you configure WindowsLive. This works well for most formatting, but not for tables.
Apparently the programmers who do WordPress development do not like the code that comes along with MS Word copy/pasting. For non-technical guys like me, however, composing in Word and then pasting into WordPress was a breeze and never caused any problems on my site, which is pretty complex with lots of plugs-ins and customization (done by someone way more web savvy than I).

In reply to: Unable to paste rich text in WP 3.9I am having the similar problem as I write in MS-Word (and have many older MS-Word docs I’d like to upload). I used to paste into WordPress with few problems — even had luck with tables created in Word. Pasting with tinyMCE advanced is OK, but seems there is more cleanup than before. Also basic editing functions like font size are gone. Any plug-ins that can restore some of this functionality?
I’ve tried the new Table function in WordPress, but it is very limited. I tried TablePress, but find it unwieldy for the types of tables I make.
When you click on the new “Paste to Word” icon in the editor, a dialog opens and reads as follow: “Paste is now in plain text mode. Contents will now be pasted as plain text until you toggle this option off. If you’re looking to paste rich content from Microsoft Word, try turning this option off. The editor will clean up text pasted from Word automatically”
Is there really a way to “toggle this option off”? Can’t seem to find it. Thanks for any suggestions.
