Copy & Paste to Word formatting issues

[AaronM]

Question, how do I copy and paste forum text to Microsoft Word without all the funky colors and formatting? I'm using the dark background, but I want the text to be black with a white background on Word. Asking for a friend. Totally not reverse-engineering one of @JordanFeigenbaum or @Austin's templates.

Have you tried it yet? When you paste into Word, there’s an option (the capital “A”) when you paste that ignores source formatting and imports the text only.

I've just been using cmd-c to copy and cmd-v to paste.

When you paste into MSWord, does it have a little icon at the bottom of what you pasted in?

AHAH! Thanks! I never noticed it before. "Keep text only" is a genius feature.

Yeah, @AaronM point being that culling logs to reverse engineer programming isn’t the coolest thing to do.

I know you tagged Jordan and Austin, but these dudes put some effort into figuring out what is a general Rx based on their coaching experience.

From your own perspective, you might not know if there are tweaks made behind the scenes based on some feedback from the lifter. So it may not be suitable for you.

This forum has a kinda “open source” vibe in regards to programming and @Hanley has been gracious in letting us pick his brain. However, just like open source code, you’ll need to pay an SME to tweak what’s out there to work within your paradigm.

Totally understood. My comment was more tongue-in-cheek than anything. I've actually ran The Bridge before, so I'm familiar with the overall program. Reading other people's logs gives ideas for lift substitutions or alternate rep schemes, but doesn't mean it's "by the book". My recovery has been less than ideal these days anyways, so I couldn't even handle all the volume in the high intensity weeks in The Bridge v1.0 right now.

FTR, I have paid Austin for in person coaching once in the past, and will happily do so again in the future when more funding allows.

I think it is, provided you keep it to yourself. It's how you learn: You watch what other people do and try to apply it to yourself. There's no difference if what those people are doing is some proprietary program. Again, don't publish it once you figured it out, and everyone should be fine.
