RTE does not allow pasting lists from Microsoft word document

Hi All, 

 

We are using AEM cloud version for website development. The RTE component has both paste modes enabled (wordhtml and plain text). But when authors copy any list (ordered/unordered) from Word document, it doesn't paste it well and creates individual <p> tags instead of ul or ol. 

 

Does anyone has any idea on this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @jainrupal2408 ,

 

At the moment it is by design, since both are different formats it is not being currently converted to <ul>, <ol> at the moment.

I see it's on the backlog for engineering, feel free to open a ticket so that priority can be increased for this feature and it can be picked soon.

Mention this in your ticket for reference. SITES-14024

 

In the meantime, you may have to modify it using source code.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Regards,

Nitesh

    Hi @nitesh_kumar-1 ,

    Thank you for your response.

    Will definitely raise a ticket on this. It would be good to have this in place for content authors, since they always create content in word document first and then copy them into RTE editor.

    As @nitesh_kumar-1 explained, it is not possible to do so, as a workaround you can use something to parse your Word doc to html and then paste it in the RTE, that should do the trick. Use something like this: https://wordtohtml.net/
