I do not have permission to add plugins, such as a Word-to-Yoast converter tool.
So, I have to create all posts by copying/pasting articles into Notepad, then copying/pasting into the Yoast editor—which leaves a huge amount of formatting cleanup and the manual creation of hyperlinks.
Editing in HTML is fairly painful. Imagine editing in HTML on one monitor, with the formatted Word doc appearing on another monitor for reference. If you leave the Yoast HTML editor to move to the other monitor so you can scroll down the source Word doc, SEO Yoast tries to process the content with the HTML tags partially created. It always returns an error, just by doing something on a different monitor.
If that isn’t bad enough, after you see the error message, you cannot open up the HTML editor and continue where you left off. You have to undo/reset the content, which deletes all of the HTML tags you just created in the content, and then you have to start over from scratch.
Am I missing something, or is editing a long post in HTML this bad for everyone? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.
