Dreamweaver - Efficient Text Entry / Insertion

You are free to just type in whatever text you want on your site, but if it is already available somewhere, it wouldnt make much sence to have to type it in maually again, especially if it is a large amount of text.

Dreamweaver provides an intelligent engine for inserting copied text from other sources, such as MS Office, while retaining as much of the formatting as you desire.

In my experience, I found that you have to paste into the "Design View" for Dreamweaver to be able to preserve format for you. If you paste into "code view", for example, something that was originally divided into three paragraphs in MS Wordpad would appear as on huge paragraph after being copied and pasted into Dreamweaver "Code (HTML) View."
