Import from Word has additional <p> tags

[JennT]

When I do an import from a (well-formatted) Word file, I consistently get extra class attributes and a paragraph tag inside my lists and table styles. I would prefer not to have these, to keep things clean.

For example, when I import a list this how each entry is formatted:

Code: Select all

<li class="li">
     <p class="li"> The list info. </p>
</li>

I was hoping to have something like this:

Code: Select all

<li>The list info.</li>

Does anyone know how to remove this type of formatting? I would prefer not to use a post-process script if possible...
Thanks!

You could use a regex find/replace:

Find:

Code: Select all

\s+<p class="li">(.*)</p>

Replace:

Code: Select all

\1

I make sure I tick the "Use standard list style type" checkbox in the Advanced Options tab. That seems to help with clean lists.

Also, I make sure I select the Flare style in the "Map to" dropdown in the Styles. It's easy to miss, but the top half is Flare and the bottom half is Word and they are two different things.
