Question regarding copying and pasting Word documents into the message

When copying a pasting a word document directly into the message part of your post, it seems that the formatting is lost (seems to be weird spacing and things). Is there any way around having this happen? A couple of guys on our forum write up things in MS Word and we have noticed this happing.

Thank in advance,

Did you hit that a/A button & then try to post that code?

Doesn't seem to work! Funny thing is when you paste it in the message window, it seems to still have the formatting. When you save it, it does some crazy things. I tried on here too and previewed it and it does the same thing. I have got to be doing something wrong and so are our members.

The kind of formatting like centering the post or justifying, coloring in the word, won't be supported here. You will have to use the bbcodes to do that.

ah ok
