T4 Support

Copy and pasting

It is important to clear all formatting before pasting content into T4. If you don’t do this, accessibility software might struggle to understand the content on the page. 

Cleaning your text

Before you paste any text into T4, it is important to ‘clean’ it. You can do this by first pasting it into notepad (Microsoft computers) or TextEdit (Mac computers). 

When you then copy the text from this software and paste it into T4, make sure to select ‘Edit’ and ‘Paste as text’ from the editor in T4 before pasting.
