In this edition of 10 Minute Joomla! Tips we discuss writing web content using Microsoft Word and how to make sure that the resulting HTML code will not corrupt the output of our Joomla Web site (or any web site for that matter).

Marco of conticreative.com will show some of the main procedures to handle MS Word text, one using the JCE editor "HTML" cleaner button, one with an intermediate step using Notepad or Text Edit to strip the text of its MS Word formatting and finally using a third party online service called "Textism" available at http://textism.com/wordcleaner/ .

In addition Marco experiements with Adobe Dreamweaver's own Word HTML cleaning tools and goes over some best practices on how to format content for the web.
For those interested in more information on the topic of handling MS Word content for the web, Conticreative.com has a comprehensive blog article with a handy checklist to keep for reference.
Enjoy this edition of 10 Minute Joomla! Tips.
