My team is having all sorts of formatting issues when copying and pasting our course descriptions from Word to Docebo.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to bring in the descriptions?

Copying from word usually brings a bunch of extra ‘stuff’ Microsoft hides from view...to get a clean text, first copy your text into a text file (this will strip out all the unnecessary code and give you a clean text), then you can paste in your description and add your formatting. If you know HTML you can get a little fancier - click on the “ < > “ icon to view the HTML code.

+1Another option when you are pasting the text into the field is to paste as plain text. Once the text is in the field you can then format accordingly.
Moreover, the solutions offered are for the single use. If bulk action is to perform and upload descriptions, you will have to use escaped html.
