A technique I have found useful when pasting content from Word (into a
standard web page) is to use a simple text editor such as Notepad as an
intermediary. Copy the text in Word, paste it into Notepad, re-select
and re-copy it, then paste into the target field/form.
If you want to retain simple HTML markup, while losing the horrors of
Word style information, it may be that a "rich text" editor could
usefully take the place of Notepad as the intermediary. Advice, anyone?

Veering slightly off topic, but if you do anything en-masse based on
the TextEntryHTML field of the TextEntries, be prepared for some
hidden horrors - if users paste text in directly from Word or similar
programmes, you can get some really unpleasant mark-up in there. In
many applications you won't want to dump it directly to a web page.

John,
We have simply dropped in the required href text and used the web
page to render it correctly. The text entry functionality is not an
HTML editor (though that would be nice), but you can copy the text
from an HTML source, paste it into a text entry field, and TMS will
save a version in the table's TextEntryHTML field. I'veattached a
sample row from our database.

Subject: [MCN-L] Links in TMS notes field
Calling on the MCN Collective Hive Mind
At an individual object level in TMS there is a "Notes" tab and
within "Notes" there are "Text Entries"
Text Entries are a rich text field and any <bracketed text> is
rendered to the page. Does anyone know how to create hyperlinks
within the Text Entries?
I know it can be done. We even have examples of links within our own
entries but they were created prior to the RTF formatting Thanks in
advance John Gordy Chief of Digital Outreach National Gallery of Art
