If you're making a forum post, submitting an
online assignment, or entering text into a Wiki, Online Lesson,
etc. you will be presented with a textbox in Tabor Online.
Sometimes you might already have some text that was produced in
another program (e.g MS Word or Docs) and you're looking to
transfer that content into a textbox within Tabor Online. It's
important that this is done in the correct way, as otherwise
incompatible text coding is carried over, which can cause
significant problems, eg. the text may
become scrambled, making it difficult/impossible to
read.
To do this correctly:
- Go to the external application where you've produced your text (e.g. Word document) and copy your text.
- Come to the answer text box, in the forum, online assignment
submission spot, Wiki, etc.
- Click on the
Paste special tool in the toolbar above the text
box.
- In 1. Content
to be pasted: paste your copied text.
- At 2. Select from where the text was formatted: select Paste as unformatted text. This will strip the formatting. Note: this is the best option even if your source is a Word document, Google document, etc. Some formatting can still come across if selecting those.
- Click Complete
paste at 4. Then you can reformat your text using the
text toolbar in Tabor Online
- Complete your assignment, Wiki, forum post, etc. and
Submit.
NOTE: If you use Ctrl + V keys to paste, rather than
Right Click and Paste, this will automatically bring up the Paste
special tool, so you won't forget to do this action.
