  4. Copy the content from Notepad.

  5. Paste into the content editor for the desired page in your websites admin.

  6. You will need to format the text, such as any text sizes and bold, etc. in the editor.

Solution 2: Works best with formatted content or tables.

  1. Copy your content from WORD.

  2. While in the content editor, click on the Paste from Word icon.

  3. Click Insert.

  4. Click "Save Changes" on the bottom-right on the webpage.
