When creating opportunities in InfoReady, you may want to copy from existing Word documents or PDFs into the description, application fields, or instructions. Because those original documents may use a variety of fonts and other styling, it's important to follow the tips below when transferring the text to InfoReady.


1. Remove formatting or paste as plain text.

  • After copying from your original document, right click in the area you need to paste and select "Paste as plain text."
  • The keyboard short cut for this is Ctrl+Shift+V (PC) or Cmd+Shift+V (Mac)

2. Watch for additional style coding. 

  • If you ever see your fields with additional html markup (see below), redo the copying and pasting, making sure to remove formatting.
  • Or if it's a small amount, just remove directly from the field.

3. If pasting into the InfoReady text editor, remove formatting directly and then customize.

  • Highlight all the text in the box and then click the "Tx" icon (outlined in red below).
  • then use the tools within the editor to add bullet points, numbering, bolding, etc.
