The Paste Special Command

If you've been designing pages for even a little while, you've probably come across a situation where you needed to copy some text from some application like your e-mail program or Microsoft Word and paste it into Dreamweaver. Often the text you're copying has already been formatted with paragraph breaks, styled with bold or italics, or placed inside tables. Depending on what you're planning to do with the text, you may or may not want to keep the formatting applied.

Dreamweaver 8 has a new Paste Special command that lets you take control over how to place copied text onto your page. The following demo is one in a series on Dreamweaver 8 features. It reviews how to use this new feature.
