Please note that since this was submitted for consideration, WordPress has 
changed the process. You may refer back to the historical methods, but let's 
focus this on the step by step process of the new version on the Visual Editor. 
Also comment on how to do this on the Text Editor. 

I've been waiting for this one for a while, so much appreciated!

Well written article. Fantastic. 

Interesting opening paragraph. The article is about copying from Word to 
WordPress but you've made it so much more. 

Remember, there are web pages, posts, and Pages with a capital P. Hate it, but 
that's the proper spelling in WordPress. Plugin is Plugin, not plug-in, 
something you stick into a wall. And it is capitalized as well as a proper 
noun. 

While the information in the article is great, the WordPress Plugin nifty, as 
is the technique of syncing Word with WordPress, that is not the article 
requested. The article (with reference links) described above and in the 
comments is about how to use the new features of WordPress to copy and paste 
into WordPress. There are reference links in the ClarkWP WordPress 3.9 article 
you may use. 

The information on the Plugin, syncing Word with WordPress, and such are no 
longer valid. Sorry. 

The article is well done, well formatted, but not the step-by-step instructions 
for copying and pasting from Word (PDFs and other word processors, etc.) to 
WordPress.

Great!

Some details. 

I know that the word "Word" and word processing are the same, but only the 
software gets capitalized. LOL! I'll fix it. 

Excellent job on the blockquote!

Opps. Links require the title. 

While it is sweet to give Sarah the link for the article she wrote on WPTavern, 
the article needs the link. 

Great job on the ordered list for the instructions. 

The images as attachments is great. Thank you! Watch the alignments. I fixed a 
few. Same with the sizes. If the image is floated to the right or left, it must 
be 1/2 or less the width of the column. If the image is centered and between 
paragraphs, it must be the full width of the column. All the images were set to 
alignnone and not wide enough for the centered images. 

I would like to see a screenshot of what mangled word processing text looks 
like in WordPress, but not sure we can get that now. There must be something 
mangled out on the web from before...hmmm. Maybe we can get someone in class 
familiar with graphics to create a graphic that emulates the tortured look. 

I removed the second image in the instructions for embedding a PDF file in a 
post or Page. Not sure why that is relevant or necessary as embedding a PDF 
file has nothing to do with pasting word processing or web page content into 
WordPress, but I can see it working, if I hang over the edge and look at it 
upside down. :D It's up to you to leave it or not. 

The article needs tags, to be added to WordPress Tips categories, and a MORE 
added after the second or third paragraph, and a summary paragraph at the end. 

Good job. Thanks for making the corrections and sticking to the topic of the 
article request. Much appreciated. Well done! You are a fantastic writer.
