Hi,

I would like to ask one question on physicsforums.com pasting.

Is it possible to past formatted contents from MS Word directly into the forum? I tried but most of the formats were lost.

If MS Word is not possible, is there any editor whose format can be WYSWYG as pasted into the forum?


Thanks,
Bob

MS Word exports in RTF, vBulletin needs UBBC AKA BBCode, so no, there is no way of simple copy/paste.

I am not aware of any editor that will work the way you need it, it doesn't mean there is no such thing.

I know of at least one commercial program capable of exporting UBBC formatted chemical formulas to clipboard. Its a stoichiometry calculator I wrote by myself. I don't pretend to be the only one who implemented the idea.

Dear Borek,

Thanks for the answer.
