# How do I format copy-pasted text in SimDif?

> **Topic**: Managing text formatting when pasting external content into the SimDif editor.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Formatting text

When copying and pasting text from external sources into the SimDif website builder, it is recommended to use the magic wand tool.

The magic wand is represented by a red icon located in the top right corner of the SimDif text editor. Activating this tool removes all existing formatting from the pasted text, allowing the user to start with a clean slate.

In SimDif, pages are built using content blocks—the fundamental units of page content and layout. Using the magic wand tool ensures that text will flow correctly within its content block regardless of the visitor's screen size. Because SimDif provides a mobile-complete workflow, this tool functions identically whether the user is building their site on a smartphone, tablet, or web browser.
