Stobot,

Opps, I assumed your copy and paste was coming from websites etc.. in the 
browser. I am a big user of Office but I not longer get much of my incoming 
data from office documents, So I have not played with this too much. I will 
look into it and post any leanings.

Perhaps http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/#FindReplace would help.

I have a lot of office and office 365 cloud experience and keen to resolve 
this for future clients as well.

Here are some possible tips

   - Copy and past content as plain text then use Editor tool bars to add 
   back bullets and formatting
  - .http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com has quite a few editor tool bar 
  enhancements
   - Paste into an advanced text editor and manipulate before pasting into 
   TiddlyWIki eg; notepad ++
   - Save/Export an office document as html and copy from there (but tricky 
   at moment)

Sadly recent changes to FireFox have made a number of my preferred addons 
go the way of the Dodo, so I need to revisit this subject.

Regards
Tony

Thanks TonyM,

Unfortunately either copy/pasting or dragging/dropping doesn't give me the 
HTML (don't know that's what most Office programs use). Below is a more 
detailed example with the "after"

Example content from Outlook

This is a list

   - Point 1 
   - Point 2 
  - 2a 
  - 2b 
 - 2ai 
 - 2aii 
  - 2c 
   - Point 3 

Copy/Pasted into TiddlyWiki returns:
• Point 1
• Point 2
o 2a
o 2b
 2ai
 2aii
o 2c
• Point 3

The character codes appear to be:
First: 0149 followed by 0032
Second: 0111 followed by 0032
Third: 0063 followed by 0032

So I believe this should be easy with some kind of find/replace plugin. 
Multiple times per day right now I manually go in and hand-replace the dot 
with *, open dot with **, square dot with *** etc.

I finally found the "CSV to Table" copy/paste thing I was referring to was 
http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#convertable. I use this all the time to 
copy/paste ranges from Excel into my wiki. I imagine it essentially does 
find/replace based on tab characters or something replacing with pipes. 

Does that help explain it better? Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the only 
people here in a traditional old-fashioned corporate environment running 
Microsoft tools, but I appreciate the help!

Stobt,

Hopefully someone will point out prior work one this. However

This would be very helpful but it may be more meaning full to provide 
information on the current result of such copy and paste actions, what is 
appearing after pasting bullets from word, excel, html pages, text only 
pastes etc... such that we can see what needs to change. This would help us 
identify the actions required, and see if any existing tools can help if 
not solve your problem.

Example Copy iconised buttet list from https://inkscape.org/en/

(1) Pastes here 

   - Flexible drawing tools 
   - Broad file format compatibility 
   - Powerful text tool 
   - Bezier and spiro curves

(2) A text editor and tiddlywiki edit mode receives

Flexible drawing tools
Broad file format compatibility
Powerful text tool
Bezier and spiro curves

But dragging the content and dropping it on a TiddlyWiki, and importing
Displays as in case (1)
The content of the imported tiddler is HTML


Flexible drawing tools
Broad file format compatibility
Powerful text tool
Bezier and spiro curves


This is a reasonable working alternative?

If you then defined ticks, wa la

Tony
