You know you do if …. your visitors don’t buy, don’t call or leave your site within 30 secs.

Perhaps you are suffering from hip-pocket-itis because you laid out a boat-load of money on a bells and whistles website that isn’t converting…

Or maybe, shock horror – you have been living in a cave and don’t have a website at all… gasp…

Whatever the scenario – we can help … (and we will even throw in a goat named Frank to sweeten the deal – more on this later.)

At The Hope Factory, we create digital assets that perform better……and by better, we mean more customers will find you, read your content and take action.

When you copy and paste text directly from MS Word into a post or page it can add HTML to your post/page that can impact on your text formatting or how your theme displays. While the text you paste might look fine in the Visual Editor, when you click on the HTML tab you’ll see all the extra code added from MS Word.

The Paste from Word button is designed to remove the HTML code from the text.

All you need to do is:

1. Click on ‘Show / Hide the kitchen sink’ to view the Advanced formatting toolbar

2. Click on the ‘Paste fron Word’ button and paste your text from MS Word.

3. Then click on Insert.

Enjoy!

This type of person thinks that they need to know everything and never implement anything that they learn. If you want to succeed you must take action now and start learning from your failures. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t learn, what it means is that you need to implement what you learn and see what works best for you and your market.

Is there a better way to wind down after a hard day pounding the keyboard?
