Copy from Word - without saving meta data


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

When we copy text from Word into our app (Universal GUI), all kind of meta data from Word is copied. This has no additional value, but fills the DB unnecessarily (and result in other issues). 

 

How can we copy text from Word into our app, without losing the formatting and not copying the meta data from Word?

Hi ​@avandervelden,

Thanks for your message. Without a concrete example of the metadata being added, and a description of what exactly is considered redundant while still preserving the formatting, it is a bit difficult to make a clear assessment.

However, since we’re using a third-party component for this functionality, TinyMCE, it may be best to direct the question to them.

But then that option should be offered via the TinyCME component in the Thinkwise platform

Hi, thank you. We’ll take the information from the link into account during our assessment. We would still appreciate receiving the example of the metadata (which is not part of the formatting you wish to preserve) that should be removed, to get a clearer picture.
