Smart Pasting from Word
I finally got a chance to try this feature--very nice. However, in my case, I have text that uses List Number paragraphs but when pasted they come into Oxygen as <p> elements with literal numbers, not as ordered lists (this is with DITA as the target). Is there a way to control this? I assume it's a function of how Word is constructing what it puts on the clipboard.

Hi Eliot, I do not know if and how one can customize what Word puts in the clipboard. What you can try is to look at the XHTML code and see if you can do something in the conversion from XHTML to DITA. To get the XHTML content just create an XHTML document, switch to Author mode and paste inside the body element - the default frameworks/xhtml/resources/xhtml2xhtml.xsl copies all the content of the body element. If you find a specific pattern for this content then you can handle that in the frameworks/dita/resources/xhtml2dita.xsl to convert it to a list.

Probably wont solve your problem, but it solves many of my Office-smart-pastes-junk problems. I keep a copy of Notepad open at all times. (actually have a keyboard macro for it). Whenever I want to paste from Word or other 'smart' program, I first paste into notepad, which is converted to plan *text* THEN I copy/paste from notepad to the destination program. All formatting is lost, but atleast bogus formatting is lost too. ---------------------------------------- David A.

So the conversion is just a transform and I can modify it? Super cool. Will have to look at that more carefully. Cheers, E. On 10/23/11 3:42 AM, "George Cristian Bina" <george@oxygenxml.com> wrote:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, I also like how easy it is to customize. That's definitely worth putting in the Oxygen docs, along with the tip to use the xhtml framework's identity transform to find out what's being fed to the xslt.
