Bobbie is correct in that you may copy and paste data from a MS/Word
document into TMG. However, you need to be aware that TMG may have
problems with the pasted information _IF_ it contains and formatting such
as italics, bold, etc. These may only be used in your word processor and
TMG would not understand it. So make sure that any copying and pasting is
only of plain text. This would also apply to any word processor document
that have formatting codes applied within it. Similarly, you may not
import a MS/Word (or other word processor) document containing anything
other than plain text. TMG will let you do these, but will give odd
results at best if it doesn't complain somewhere along the way.

Hope this helps -
