You can manually import text by copying the text into the clipboard of Windows and pasting it into an item description or Text/RVF attribute. 


Pasting into Description

This functionality is straight forward. Select the text in the external application, e.g., Microsoft Word, and paste it into the Description area of the Overview view. You have the option to keep formatting and images (Paste) or only paste unformatted text (Paste as Text),  i.e., it will remove all formatting, e.g., font color, text background color, font styles, and pictures.



Pasting into a Text or RVF attribute

The Text type attribute supports full formatted strings, including new lines. The RVF type supports full formatted text, including pictures. This later format is generally used in Descriptions in SystemWeaver. Whenever needed, this format is automatically translated into the RTF format used in MS Office applications.
