[Why do you post this 4 times?]

Do you mean serverside?

If you mean copy and pasting by the user,
which I fear,
it has nothing to do with asp,
and you better ask a clientside NG.

it is from clientside . what you mean by clientside NG.?
is there no way to covert word format to html (i think this is what
should happen there ).

I have forgotten what this thread is about also.

If you want to paste data from Word into HTML when *designing* the page,
then do a two part operation - paste into Notepad, then paste into your HTML
file.

If you don't mean this, then please post the query again

And so you should ;-)

If you want to paste data from Word into HTML when *designing* the
page, then do a two part operation - paste into Notepad, then paste
into your HTML file.

and put <pre></prearound it.

If you don't mean this, then please post the query again

There is another way which could be automated [with cscript?]:

1 Safe the doc file as .html in that terrible html msword produces.
2 load the file into IE.
3 extract the text using body.innerText.
4 safe that in a html file putting <pre></prearound it.

.... however all tables will be corrupted and images gone.

Still the best in this time and age is using pdf.
