[Myexperiment-discuss] How can I remove "formatting text" from the "Description" of my file entry?

[Marchese Robinson, Richard]

Hi

 

I have been updating the “Description” of a (currently private) myExperiment.org file entry which I plan to make public in the very near future.

 

As part of this, I copied and pasted some text from some Excel files, PDF files and Word documents. This appears to have resulted in the (rather annoying) long XML formatting string appearing when I view the updated file entry (in either Firefox 40.0.03 or IE 11):

 

“<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> …..”

 

I cannot work out how to remove this string. I have tried copying the text into a text file, making this ANSI using Notepad++, deleting the original description and copying from the text file … without success. I have also tried playing around with the formatting options in the editor … without success.

 

Can anyone advise me as to how to fix this?

 

Many thanks in advance!

 

Richard
