What happens when I copy from Word into Canvas?

Converting Word documents into Canvas pages, assignments, or other content can be really valuable for students navigating Canvas courses. Students using the Canvas mobile app often have trouble accessing Word files from their mobile devices; these issues are less likely to occur when the content is built in the Canvas Rich Content Editor (RCE). It can also make things easier on the instructor by eliminating many of the steps needed to update content or instructions.

For employee awareness, the following message from UIS Counseling and Health Services was sent to all students via email about their resources and services offered during the spring semester:
