I know copying and pasting from MS Word is not allowed here. But the truth is that I used to do that because I work on MS Word. I don't format the articles but I just use it type it because it shows the number of words, shows spelling and grammatical errors and even if my computer of application crashed it will retrieve my work. And most importantly it is designed to write!
But for my last article I got flagged for this. What should I do? Can I edit the article and resubmit it? And why is that a rule?

Please write the entire article in Boddunan editor. Copy paste from M.S. word is not allowed. It appears that M.S. word is not compatible to internet. Hence the rule.
So should I start from the scratch for the article that has been rejected. Can I use some other applications like Notepad in windows. Typing in a browser scares me because we never know when an application crashes!

Yes please you should, just change the name of your article, paste it on notepad and then resubmit it. Please format in word wrap and see that no space is left on top or under the article on boddunan editor before clicking "submit" button, thanks.
It is perhaps not permitted as the possibility of articles being lifted from elsewhere and pasted arises. This will lead to plagiarism. So the author has to type in the space provided by Boddunan.
It is not about the issue of copying and pasting from other sources that using Word is prohibited, but by pasting article from Word results in tedious html tags getting attached to the article and it becomes a long job for us to clean it up. Only that reason and nothing else!

I stand corrected.
