Copy and paste?

In the Word doc:

Edit > Select All

Edit > Copy

Open post on the forum, click in the text area and then press Ctrl and V at the same time.

Is that what you are after?

Hi MAJORUS

Sometimes MS Word formatting may cause conflicts when posting into a forum post window, depending on the version. To make sure it copies over cleanly, first copy and paste your text into Notepad. This way, most of Words formatting is lost.

Here's the quick keys for moving your text from one program to another

CTRL+A (highlights (selects) all the text)

CTRL + C (Copies all the text) or…

CTRL + X (Cuts all the highlighted text if you prefer)

CTRL + V (Pastes all the text)

Sawasdee Khrup, Khun Majorus,

You've already had some great suggestions. Another alternative : save the file from Word as a text file (extension .txt) which will strip out all of Word's formatting codes and internal format. Then copy and paste that text file. It's been so long I've worked with Word that I forget what "copy" options there may be (as I know Excel has, for example).
