Importing Styled Text from a Document

What is a website if not a source of information? You need some real content to work with. Right now, the default.html file contains whatever text you inserted during Hour 3. The next step is to introduce some real content. In most cases, you will either be provided with or write your own content in some form of word-processing software. Your first instinct is probably to cut and paste this content straight into your page. The problem is that, depending on what word processor you use, a large amount of legacy formatting is likely to be attached to the document—code that becomes difficult to work with after it is imported into an HTML file. Newer versions of word processors, such as Microsoft Word 2010, have less of this code clutter, but simple copy-and-paste will still leave you with code that has no place in a website. To import the text correctly, you need to use a built-in tool in Expression Web 4.
