Setting the Insert Document dialog box options

Use the Insert Document dialog box to specify whether to insert the full contents of a document, or whether to create a link to the document in your web page. If you are inserting the full contents of a document, you can also specify formatting options for the text you are inserting.

To complete the dialog box options:

  1. If you want to insert the full contents of the document into your page, select Insert the Contents and select one of the following options:

    Text Only lets you insert unformatted text. If the original text is formatted, all formatting will be removed.

    Text with Structure lets you insert text that retains structure, but does not retain basic formatting. For example, you can paste text and retain the structure of paragraphs, lists, and tables, without retaining bold, italics, and other formatting.

    Text with Structure Plus Basic Formatting lets you insert both structured and simple HTML-formatted text (e.g., paragraphs and tables, as well as text formatted with the b, i, u, strong, em, hr, abbr, or acronym tag).

    Text with Structure Plus Full Formatting lets you insert text that retains all structure, HTML formatting, and CSS styles.

    Clean Up Word Paragraph Spacing lets you eliminate extra space between paragraphs when you paste your text if you selected Text with Structure or Basic Formatting.

  2. If you want to create a link to the document instead, select Create a Link.
  3. Click OK.
