The big ugly dinosaur! We would ideally like to let users upload a Microsoft Word document as their story file, preserving paragraphs and formatting. Fun, fun, fun.

Even though this is part of post-story, it will probably not get implemented until late in the game.

Haven't explored the functionality yet, but there is a possibility the rich text editor will support Word upload. It is likely we would want to do it a different way anyway, since there are a lot of limitations there, but just noting that here for reference.

The rich text editor allows pasting from Word, which satisfies this for now!

Formatting is stripped from the Word doc once you paste it through the rich text editor. When I try to paste formatted text from a Word doc into the rich text tab I get a popup asking me to paste it in plain text and the formatting is stripped.

IOW, maintaining formatting from a word doc doesn't work in Beta.

Font size/bold/italics are preserved, but some paragraph alignment, tab indents, and font sizes are not (on beta). No popup generated when pasting into rich text tab. Document is still readable.

Just making a note so others can give some input on this. One of the notes on this issue said that pasting from Word was sufficient. A follow up note (in 2009 /o) said that pasting was wonky.

Now that we've cleaned up our RTE - and presumably pasting from Word works now - do we still want the ability to Upload from a file?

"cleaned up" is a relative term: there's still a transient bit of insanity with RTF-encoded files; nobody's happy with the way the parser interprets extra lines between paragraphs,; and I'm not actually sure we've done a full regression on everything in Word that has comparable HTML (ol and ul lists, super/subscript, indents, and right and full justification are the things that spring immediately to mind; hr/s as well).
