Paste the paste buffer into it. No need for an intermediate Word document. In fact, that way you don't risk Word doing "clever" things behind your back like "fixing" apostrophes to be what it thinks you should be using (it's sometimes wrong even in plain English, and with wiki markup it can be a disaster). OK, the Word document gives you search and replace whereas with a browser you just have search and have to do the rest manually. but that way you don't have to take extra care that your global search/replace hasn't left you with a "caravane" where you should have had "care." > *Very* straight forward & simple! :-) > It can be even simpler.
