2807628 - Upgrades to the RCM Job Description Editor - Recruiting Management

• Where are the "Paste from Microsoft Word" and "Paste as Plain Text" buttons gone?
• How do I import a Job Description into the Job Description Editor?
• Why does the RCM XML feed show additional style parameters in the RCM XML feed (such as "style=font-family")?

Since release 1H2025 the underlying editor that the Job Description uses is he Rich Text Editor (was CKEditor).

The "Paste from Microsoft Word" button and  buttons are not available as internet browsers are no longer able to access a user's clipboard due to security issues. Instead, this functionality has been integrated into the application by pasting directly into the Rich Text field.

"Paste as Plain Text"

• To import a Job Description from Microsoft Word, copy the Description using CTRL+C, and paste this into the Job Description Editor using keyboard shortcut CTRL + V. This will retain all standard HTML formatting supported by the editor (such as bold, italics, links).
• Font style should only be based on the default font style of Microsoft Word. Recommended: Calibri (body)
• Please note that not all formatting available in Microsoft Word is supported, since MS Word uses their own "formatting styles", and any formatting that is not supported by the Rich Text Editor will be removed when the user pastes the content using CTRL + V (similar to the functionality of the legacy "Paste from Word" button).
• You may see additional parameters in the RCM XML feed (such as "style=’font-family") These are considered expected behaviour and cannot be removed. 
• Kindly note the "Paste as Plain Text icon" will be removed from the text editor on the Job Description Details page with the b2005 Release. On the Job Profile tab, this button was already removed with the b1911 release. Please use CTRL + Shift + V instead.
