Importing text from a file
Importing text from a word-processor file is a quick way to build up text content
for your site (but you can also create a story using WritePlus). If you use your
current word processor (such as Microsoft Word) to create the text files for your
site, you can import any number of files into one site.
As well as the WritePlus format (.stt), a range of popular word processing and
text formats can be imported, including:
ANSI text .txt
Microsoft
Word
2007/2010
.docx/.dotx
Microsoft
Word
2000/2003
.doc/.dot
MS Works .wps
Open Office
text
.odt
Rich Text
Format
.rtf
Wordperfect .wpd
Write .wri
For Microsoft Word formats created in any Windows operating system you
don't need to have Microsoft Word installed locally. This means you can reuse
third-party text content in WebPlus without the supporting application.
WebPlus will import text into either a new creative text frame (supports text
flow between frames) or into a selected HTML or creative text frame (HTML
frames do not support text flow) already on your web page. See Understanding
text frames on p. 188 for more information.
WebPlus will preserve the formatting of imported word-processor
text. However, if you're using your word processor to create text
specifically for WebPlus, you'll save time by typing as text only, and
applying formatting later in WebPlus.
