Question

how do I copy a docx from word and paste into a web site?

Answer 1

This depends on the web site. If you can post text into the site, you can save on OneDrive and get a share link to post in the website.

If the site lets you upload documents, you need to find your document using the mechanism on the website.

Copying from Word into a website depends on whether the site supports rich formatting and whether Word is used on the desktop or in the browser.

For Word for the web:

1. Open the document in Word for the web.
2. Make sure the document is in Editing mode (not Reading). If needed, select Edit in browser.
3. Select the text or objects to copy.
4. Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘+C (Mac) to copy.
5. Go to the website’s editor (for example, a text box or content editor on a web page).
6. Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘+V (Mac) to paste.
   • Many web editors will keep basic formatting (bold, italics, lists). Some may strip formatting and paste as plain text.

If using Word for the web in Reading view:

1. You can only select text a line at a time by dragging the mouse.
2. Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘+C (Mac).
3. Paste into the website with Ctrl+V / ⌘+V.
   • Text will paste without formatting when copied from Reading view.

If pasting hyperlinks and they appear as plain text in the website editor:

1. Paste the text.
2. In the website’s editor, select the pasted link text.
3. Use the site’s Insert link option and enter the URL so it becomes clickable.

If the browser shows a No clipboard access or similar message when copying or pasting from Word for the web:

1. In Chrome: select the View site information button in the address bar, find Clipboard, and turn it On for the site.
2. In Edge: select the Lock/View site information icon, locate Clipboard under “Permissions for this site,” and set it to Allow.

On Chrome, Firefox, and Chromium-based Edge, when editing in Word for the web, Ctrl+Shift+V (Windows) or ⌘+Shift+V (Mac) can be used to paste as plain text (no formatting) into supported editors.
