Copying and pasting text from Google Docs into Bob can sometimes result in inconsistent or “wonky” formatting. This can show up across different areas of the platform, including the Talent module, Hiring job descriptions, and other rich text fields.
This usually happens because Google Docs adds hidden formatting code that doesn’t always translate well into Bob’s text editor.
As a workaround, avoid copying content directly from Google Docs when possible. Instead, use tools that keep formatting clean before pasting into Bob, such as:
-
Microsoft Word
-
Apple Pages
-
Plain text editors like Notepad or TextEdit
-
Writing or editing the content directly in Bob
Using one of these options helps ensure your text appears as expected once it’s saved in the platform.
