If you do require any html formatting on the text you display in your store then I suggest that you click the 'Source' button and enter the description of the product without any html markup - if you do this then when you use EP it will be just your text.

However, the flip side of this is that you can only enter plain text into your descriptions.

How you do this is up to you ... you could hard code some basic formatting into the product_info page ... but looking at your screen shot - not all your products have the same layout so I would try the following.

Leave the html tags in and simply copy and paste in EP - it is not hard to see how to do this. You can even do it in excel using concatenate ...

Eg.
This is what you have in EP:
Take one cell eg. C2 on your sheet
1. Copy and paste the tags before 'This is your text' to a new cell eg. <tag><tag><b><h1> to cell AA1
2. Copy and paste the tags after 'This is your text' to a new cell eg. <tag><tag><b><h1> to cell AA2
3. Type the text you want into cell AA3
4. Type into cell AA4 =concatenate(AA1,AA3,AA2)

This will then create the html tags around plain text for you. So you should be able to enter plain text through EP and add the tags using excel functions - you could even write a macro to go through column C and add generic html tags to the text - same method as above.

Obviously you will need to move the cells around a bit to do this in bulk but hopefully this give you the right idea of what you can do.

Hope this helps,

I really appreciate the information.

Thanks
