Pasting HTML in PBWiki editor
When I paste text in the page editor from emails or Frontpage, using either the "source" tag or the "html" productivity plugin, the resulting text is reformatted. The fonts, highlighting, text size all change and sometimes text is moved from one place to another in the document.
Is there another way to accomplish this other than re-keying the text?

Inappropriate?Yes there is a way to paste the text. However, you have to "strip" off the rich text formatting.
Copy the text from your document and paste it into a plain text editor like Notepad. Now highlight the text in Notepad and copy it. Finally, paste that text into the Point & Click editor. There is no need to use either the Source button or the HTML plugin when you do that.
Once it's pasted in, you can format the text in the wiki by using the formatting tools in the toolbar in our Point & Click editor.
The problem of rich text formatting is not only a problem here. It's very common web-wide and there are many solutions. Here is a site that tells the same story and recommends some other solutions.

Inappropriate?Thanks Clif, this will be very helpful when I want to reformat the text.
Actually, what I need is to keep the text in it's original rich-text format, with colors, highlighting, fonts, etc, KEPT INTACT when I paste it to a page in my PBwiki.
My thought was to view the source html in the original document, copy and paste it into the PBwiki page as html source, then save it. The result I am getting is what I mentioned earlier, much of the text is reformatted.
Is there a way to copy the rich text and have the original formatting KEPT INTACT?
