Formatting and Word - Best Practices for Comments

When entering comments into PowerSchool, it is important not to simply cut and paste from Word. Instead, you can "strip" the formatting from your comments, by saving as a text file.

To save a Word Document as a Text File:


  1. In Word, go to File>Save As
  2. In the popup box, enter your document name, and choose your location as normal.
  3. In the Format dropdown box, change from Word Document (.docx) to Plain Text (.txt)

You will be able to paste this text as you normally would into PowerSchool, with Command-V or Edit>Paste.
