Website Kit Manual Revised Jan 2018

Adding Content: Body Let's look now at the "Body" section, which is where you will actually create your content. You will write things in the body using a rich-text editor that looks very much like a scaled-down version of Microsoft Word. Don't be tempted, however, to create complex pages in Word and paste them into this editor. Word documents contain a lot of hidden formatting code that will not translate well. You can paste portions of simple Word documents, or other text with hidden formatting such as text from your old website, into the editor using the Paste from Word icon — at the top of the editor——but it is generally better to either work directly in the rich-text edi- tor or paste from a simple text editor like Notepad . If you must have a very specific page layout, perhaps for a newsletter, it is often best to just attach a standard pdf document to a simple, short Book Page. (We'll talk more about file attachments later .) If you need to paste text from somewhere else, the Paste from Word icon is strongly suggested . This button will strip out a lot of the strange behind-the- scenes code that Microsoft products (not just Word!) generate and enable most, if not all, formatting to remain.
