How do I paste Word into Mailchimp without the messy formatting?

Paste the Word content here with Mailchimp as the destination and copy, then paste into a Mailchimp content block. Bold, links and lists carry over and the margins, colors and font sizes are stripped.

Does italic survive into Mailchimp?

No. Mailchimp's rich paste keeps only bold, links and lists and drops italic, underline, headings, tables and code. Bold and lists are the reliable way to structure a campaign.

Does it keep my links and lists?

Yes. Links stay clickable and both bulleted and numbered lists are preserved. The visual styling, the color, size, font and spacing, is removed.

Common gotchas

Mailchimp's own rich paste keeps only bold, links and numbered or bulleted lists. It drops italic, underline, headings, tables and code, so this focuses on getting those kept parts across cleanly.
Pasting Word straight into Mailchimp also drags the document's margins, font sizes, colors and families along. Converting first strips that styling, so the email inherits your Mailchimp template instead of fighting it.
Because Mailchimp removes italic and headings on paste, lean on bold and lists for emphasis and structure in a campaign.
Paste into a Mailchimp text or paragraph content block. The formatting travels through the clipboard as clean HTML.
