The "wysiwyg" Custom Content page part comes with pre-formatted styles based on your stylesheet. Often times you'll notice discrepancies in font sizes or formatting issues that are often the result of carried over formatting when pasting content from Microsoft Word or another source.

How to prevent carried over formatting

We recommend using platform specific shortcuts to paste content as plain text.

MAC:

Cmd + Shift + V

Windows:

Ctrl + Shift + V

Tips and Tricks
