Microsoft Word documents are ugly to cut and paste into the text area. There is so much sh!@#$t in the copied text, that it makes it nearly impossible to work with unless you know HTML really well.

To get around this I did the following:

a. open the Word file.
b. Select and copy the text you want.
c. Open a simple text editor (such as notepad)
d. Paste the text into this editor
e. Select the text from that editor again and copy it (this essentially removes all extra code from the text).
f. Paste this into the text area on the web page and format as needed.

or

a. Open a word file and 'Save As..' a txt file.
b. On the web page you are creating upload this file using the 'Upload contents (optional)' section on the site. Browse for the text file you saved and click the save button.
c. This automatically uploads the content into the text area.

Either way, we'll want to perform some simple formatting of the text once it is in the webpage. Use the web page editor tools and format the desired text accordingly.

Again, text files are the best way to ingest content initially unless the formatting absolutely requires MSWord or other applications.
