How do I use Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 Live View to copy complex formatted text into web page?

Hans thank you for your reply and attention to this matter.  Moreover, with your steeped expertise I do not, in any fashion, intend to be flippant or capricious. 

However, I do not believe the reply is on point since I'm not discussing the insertion of an HTML tag/element; but rather, the placing of complex formatted text into my various web pages.

Design View and  2014.1 Live View seem to serve different functions.  That is, Design View, for us, serves as a highly sophisticated HTML5 code generator that allows us to properly display complex formatted text that originally is created as a Word docx file.  As I noted in my original post, the complex formatted text from the Word file is then pasted into Design View and thus properly renders on the web page.  I invite you to try this yourself.  Simply copy my properly formatted text in my original post (that can be found at "Using Design View the web page rendered this way:") to a Word file, and it will retain the complex formatting, then copy that Word file text to both Design View and  2014.1 Live View files.  Please apprise me of your results.

Discussion has been had in at least two separate threads on the Design View disappearance in Fluid Grid.  In https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1597260 staff member Lalita wrote "It would be helpful for us if you list the issues you are seeing with fluid grid live view editing."  And in https://forums.adobe.com/message/6807088#6807088 staff member Subhadeep wrote "If you can list down the workflows you are trying while editing in Live View & the issues you are facing in doing so, it will help us understand what is amiss & suggest alternative workflows to do the same."  I believe I've pointed out issues when attempting to use Live View for functions or work flow that customarily had been done in Design View.

Being a CC subscriber, if someone can provide me with a workflow using other additional Adobe products to get my complex formatted text from Word ultimately to my Dreamweaver web page, be it an image insert or whatever, I would take the suggestions.

The difference in the coding of my example in my original post is as follows.

Code when using Design View is:

It is readily apparent that Design View is a much needed code generator in the Dreamweaver product.  Live View serves completely other, and needed, purposes.  Therefore, I still, after all the forum discussions, do not understand why Design View has been removed from Fluid Grid.

Again Hans thank you for your reply.  But unless I'm missing something, citation to the links you provided does not solve my problem.  And that problem is this: If Design View is on its way out and thus will be completely removed from Dreamweaver at some point, then how do I provide my information (i.e. complex executive job descriptions) on my website?

Apparently a vote is taking place https://forums.adobe.com/ideas/3922 on the issue of placing Design View back into Fluid Grid.  I do not understand why the need for two rather disjunctive functionalities are at the mercy of the democratic process.  These are matters of engineering principles not "town hall gatherings".

Thank you Subhadeep for your very timely reply.

Yes, I am entering edit mode (orange box) and then pasting the text, which again as I have emphasized throughout, is highly complex formatted text and that text can be seen in my original post under the Design View scenario.  And I am pasting the text directly in Live View since that, as I understand it, is the view in which the edit mode (orange box) presents itself.  As to your point that using this methodology or workflow the paste move does retain the formatting, I must be missing something because, for me, it does not retain the formatting (i.e. complex formatted text that is present in my original docx file).

I made a new Fluid Grid html document to follow your instructions and did the process described in the above paragraph and got the same results with regard to Live View formatting (i.e. no formatting) that I demonstrated in the above postings in this thread.

Please advise me as to why, in using Live View, I am not retaining my text formatting.  Thank you.  My details and data are listed below.

Subhadeep,

I further reviewed your reply and you are correct the formatting of text does retain from my docx to Fluid Grid document when I am not in the edit mode (orange box); but rather, I am pasting directly in Live View.  I finally noticed the two approaches are different thus not the same.

Sorry for my slow-learning but wanted to point out my incorrect thinking ASAP.

Thanks again for your assistance.
