HI,

I am trying out calendarscript for use with a municipal website.  We would like to post our meeting agendas (typed in WORD)in the Description filed.  We've tried cutting and pasting the word .doc and as well as .rtf and .txt formats.  In all cases the formatting is lost - the text appears as a long string in the Description field on the calendar itself.  

Any ideas on how to get the formatting to "stick" when a WORD doc is pasted in?

Thanks in Advance for all assistance.

Since CalendarScript is basically a web page, any information displayed would need to be in HTML format.

Found a solution to above post.
1. set description (aka event details) field to accept HTML format (under Cal Admin/Cal Options/Cal Settings)
2. saved WORD doc as a web page, filtered
3. opened saved web page in Notepad
4. selected and cut all
5. pasted into Description

It works.
Thanks again for this calendar!

    PS. You should only be copying the HTML code between the <body...> and </body> tags of the converted Word document. Including the <html><head>... </head></html> tags might lead to some unexpected viewing results in some browsers.
