[Why do you post this 4 times?]

Do you mean serverside?

If you mean copy and pasting by the user,
which I fear,
it has nothing to do with asp,
and you better ask a clientside NG.

I have forgotten what this thread is about also.

If you want to paste data from Word into HTML when *designing* the page,
then do a two part operation - paste into Notepad, then paste into your HTML
file.

If you don't mean this, then please post the query again

and put

 around it.

There is another way which could be automated [with cscript?]:

1 Safe the doc file as .html in that terrible html msword produces.
2 load the file into IE.
3 extract the text using body.innerText.
4 safe that in a html file putting
 around it.

.... however all tables will be corrupted and images gone.

Still the best in this time and age is using pdf.
