The cause of this issue is hidden formatting code that is included when using the copy/paste feature from Microsoft Office products. This "bad HTML code" must be removed prior to pasting into Blackboard.
To avoid the formatting issues, you can remove the formatting and reformat it with the options in the editor. To remove the Word formatting after you paste the text in the editor, select all the text and select the Remove Formatting icon. Only use this option if you understand that all formatting will be removed.
Highlight the text you just pasted. Click the Clear Formatting icon at the top of Blackboard's text editor to remove formatting (note: this will remove bold, italics, indents and other formatting applied in Word or from whichever program you have copied the text).Jun 15, 2016
