Author-It: Pasting Text with Formatting

For those of you using Author-It, there is an unfortunate feature that text that is pasted into a topic (from a Word doc), gets a "No Paragraph Style". You then have to select the text and apply an AIT style. At the latest Author-It User Group meeting, the way to get around this was revealed.

Follow these steps:
  1. From the main window select: Import -> (Transformation) Profiles
  2. Select Word Documents
  3. Click Properties
  4. Check the box next to Use for Paste
Now, when you want to paste text into AIT, click:
Paste -> Paste Using Import Profile -> Word Documents

That's it. Happy pasting.
