Format text

Because Microsoft Word and the PeopleHR text editor are two different programs, your text might be formatted differently.
​
Before pasting your text from Word in PeopleHR, strip all formatting or copy the text and paste it into the Notepad application on your device.
​
Alternatively, click the Word icon and paste your text.
