Pasting text into table cell inserts <p> tag

[janecraft]

Hello,

I'm figuring out how to instruct my client to use Contribute. One thing that
seems harder than it needs to be is that for table contents to have the correct
style, they have to be careful in Word to not include a paragraph mark (they
must show formatting marks in Word and make sure to not select the paragraph
mark). If they do not take this step, Contribute inserts <p> tags around the
text which does weird things to the cell format.

I've tried to work around this by creating a style of p inside th and td, but
only some of the stuff "takes" -- specifically, I can't override the margins
and padding on the global <p>. The relevant CSS tag inspector has been helpful
in sorting this out.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, jk

Use Notepad:D

Get your users to copy the desired text into notepad.

Well, that does work, I hadn't considered that. Thanks for the suggestion. Still, it's another step for them... jk

yeah you are right of course,

it does add a step at the front end but will save having to do something later.
