Can't Paste in Dreamweaver C3 from Office 2008

Feb 9, 2008 11:34 AM

Howdy there,

I am running OS X 10.5.1 on a Macbook with Dreamweaver CS3 and I just bought and installed MS Office 2008. Previously I used to use Word 2004 to write the text for my website and copy and paste it in Dreamweaver CS3 and it woudl keep the paragraph breaks. Unfortunately, when I wrote in Word 2008, copy, and try to paste in Dreamweaver now it will only paste in "text only" and not keep the paragraph breaks. All the other options for copying will not allow me to paste anything from Word 2008. I am guessing Microsoft did some type of change to their formatting. Will Adobe create an update for Dreamweaver to deal with this change and allow pasting from Word 2008? Can anyone think of a work around?

Thanks in advance!

Bob

    I can confirm that this is happening. Paste from Word only works if I
    select TEXT ONLY. Any other option pastes nothing into Design view.

    No idea. Sorry.

    Save to HTML from Word, and paste that into code view?

    Anyhow, I'll alert the team about this....

    Work-around : paste special plain text or paste in code view.

    I have had a similar problem, copy/paste from Word into Flash CS3 (used to work fine before I upgraded to Flash CS3 and Word 2008 for MAC). My solution, which may help you, copy/paste your Word doc into TextEdit, and use that as your new source doc. (e.g. open original Word document, select-all, copy, paste into a new TextEdit document, and use that new TextEdit document to copy/paste into Flash and maybe your Dreamweaver). Works without any glitches for me. Just requires the one extra step.
