wordpress - Paste Special in Live Writer breaks links on Windows 10. Can we workaround it? -


we use windows live writer interface standalone wordpress sites behind firewall. after upgrading windows 10, see problem using 'paste special: keep formatting' when copying table microsoft word or excel lw.

the html generated should be:

    <a href="mailto:username.usersurname@companysite.com"> 

but looks this:

    <a style="href: &quot;mailto:username.usersurname@companysite.com&quot;"> 

the end result mailto: name underlined if it's link mailto: doesn't work (regardless of browser). windows live writer no longer supported , open live writer has same mistaken behavior. i'm trying find workaround process because our many contributors maintain tables in spreadsheets or docs , copy them lw post.

notes on investigation far:

  • similar problem identified in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-email/windows-live-mail-2012-missing-links-while-copying/fb67856e-a4b5-42ec-9ada-e1b08561157f?auth=1. acknowledged real bug, recommendation @ time go install ie10, not possible on windows 10.
  • proper mail client configured in windows 10 - found number of references problem, don't think had badly formed html.
  • creating fresh table in lw mailto: links works. it's 'paste special: keep formatting' that's broken.
  • currently on windows 10, windows live writer 2012.
  • my workaround far excel - save table web page, open relevant file in browser (for me,it's sheet001), ctl+u see code, copy code lw's source. parallel process in word doesn't seem work.
  • pasting directly wordpress back-end editor loses of pretty table formatting (as might expect), mailto:'s work.
  • after more testing, badly formed links aren't restricted mailto: - regular hyperlinks have been copy , pasted paste special: keep formatting have same incorrect html syntax above.

     <a style="href:&quot;http://sharepoint.something.com/sites/path/default.aspx&quot;" 

i'm looking practical workaround work large group of part-time contributors. suggestions?

we found answer work - i'll share in case helps else.

our corporate ms word 365 can publish our wordpress sites. copying tables excel retains hyperlinks, colors, , tables can edited. there's rich table creation interface inside blogging interface. i'm sure there limitations we'll find - such not being able download wp theme true wysiwyg live writer...but overall, can work this.

here's how publish ms word 365 wordpress:

  1. go ms word 365
  2. open new blank document
  3. go file -> share -> post blog, , click post blog button
  4. you'll see register blog account message -> click register now
  5. choose wordpress dropdown of blog providers
  6. blog @ http://< enter blog url here >/xmlrpc.php [insert url of wp instance , keep xmlrpc.php part]. example: http://yourgroup.yourcompany.com/sandbox/ap/blog/xmlrpc.php
  7. enter admin & password, , choose remember password
  8. now can write post, give title, copy excel, published posts under "open existing", insert tables, add categories, manage blog accounts, etc.

hope helps you!
