The updated visual editor has improved speed, accessibility, and mobile support. You can paste into the visual editor from your word processor without wasting time to clean up messy styling. (Yeah, we’re talking about you, Microsoft Word.)

Paste is now in plain text mode. Contents will now be pasted as plain text until you toggle this option off.

If you’re looking to paste rich content from Microsoft Word (yeah, that’s a bad idea…), try turning this option off. The editor will clean up text pasted from Word automatically.
