| I have a programmer who is trying to copy text from a webpage in a browser, and
paste it into Dreamweaver Design view. Every time *I* do this, the text
appears in the design view completely unformatted. Plain text. Every time he
does this, the text somehow carries the formatting over. Text remains bolded,
etc. Can you please tell me what setting he needs to change so that pasted-in
text remains unformatted? I have been trying for WEEKS to figure out why his
is doing this and mine is not. Thank you.

One thing I do in these situations is to first paste the text into Notepad,
CTRL+A everything, CTRL+C, and THEN paste it into the app.
In this case, Notepad "filters out" any sort of formatting.
HTH.

Mine behaves the same as yours (strips out formatting when copied from
browser to Dreamweaver MX design view). He has probably changed a
setting somewhere in Dreamweaver or is using a different browser to you.
I'm using Firefox/IE on WinXP with Dreamweaver MX.

| Right click on the webpage and choose "View source" or on the top menu click
"view" and then "source".
Now you can see the whole code.
Copy/paste it to Dreamweaver.

| I was saving that as a last resort, as it introduces another step into a very
very long process of steps they're already having to follow. For some reason
the formatting is being carried over ... and it is in Dreamweaver that it's
being accepted and processed. This isn't happening in my Dreamweaver. We had
several other problems previously, and the solution was to match up our
preferences settings. Im trying to figure out which one of his is responsible
for this. Anyone?
