How do I load a trip report that has been written in "Word"?

[RobbieR]

My mates have been bugging me to load up our trip reports - apparently they make them smile (not sure why) but so what. I would not mind to but need some advise on how to.

You must get rid of the formatting that will be copied from Word to the web page.  Copy and paste first in a text editor like Notepad(comes standard with Windows). Then copy text from text editor and paste in "Message:" window(where you type messages on WD). 

The photos you will have to put on a 3rd party image storage website like Photobucket or Image shack. Then insert the appropriate url reference of the photos at the desired places in you RR.

Not necessary - Just copy and paste - SIMPLE

For formatting - highlight the text on the forum and click on the formatting required - just like that

Ok - copied and pasted - then the message "exceed 2000 characters"?

Paste it into two or more separate posts.

This is interesting.

I write my reports in Word & copy & paste them here no problem.  I tried to do it in ADVRider and it did not work - some time ago so  forget exactly what the problem was (I seem to remember document over 2000 words so I cut it down really tiny but still the same problem).

I realised it was the formatting so I saved the document in Text(MS DOS) in Word & copied & pasted that - no difference.  So I gave up.
