If the
copied text retains inline CSS styles, Dreamweaver pastes them as well.
Two other options are available for modifying your paste output. The Retain Line Breaks option maintains
line breaks in pasted text; if you choose Text Only, this option is disabled. The Clean Up Word Paragraph
Spacing option works with the Text With Structure and Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting choices
to remove additional space between paragraphs.
If you use the standard Paste command, Dreamweaver can insert only plain, unformatted text??”any bold,
italic, or other styling in the original document is not retained in Dreamweaver. Paragraph breaks, however,
are retained and reproduced in two different ways. A single paragraph return becomes a line break (a
tag) in Dreamweaver, whereas text separated by two returns is formatted into two HTML paragraphs, using
the
...
tag pair.
If you need to import a great deal of text and want to retain as much formatting as possible,
you can use another text application, such as Microsoft Word, to save your text as an HTML
file. Then open that file in Dreamweaver with the Import ??? Word HTML command.
