 * Hi everybody,
 * since the update to 3.9 there’s no longer that button “insert from Word”, so 
   when I now try to insert a spreadsheet, it shows only the text, the formatting
   however is gone. The same happens with lists/enumerations. This really hinders
   my work. Is there anything I can do so the formatting from Word remains intact
   in WP, just like it used to be until yesterday?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Try inserting the document using the text editor and not the visual editor. The
   paste from Word button has disappeared because WordPress automatically strips
   the formatting that Word puts into documents.
