Howdy,

When pasting from word into a WYSIWYG field, the 'Paste from word' pop up box comes up, and I use that as normal, however it still ends up putting a heap of word html tags and junk into the html of the WYSIWYG.

I'm sure i've never had this problem before now... this is on a new install of the new version (1.26).

I'm getting this junk before any of the text:
REMOVED because it makes the page soo wide!

The paste from word pop up dialog should be stripping all that junk out, shoudn't it?

If it should... any ideas why it's decided not to today?!

Cheers in advance
Rob

Hi Rob,

Can you try pasting it into the tinymce demo here:
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php

Click the Paste From Word button [W] then the HTML button [HTML] to see what it pasted.

Let me know if it happens on that site.

Hi Dave,

The tinymce demo works fine - stripping out all of the junk.

Pasting exactly the same into the CMS WYSIWYG ends up with all the junk...

Suggests problem with tinymce on the altest version of cms (1.26) maybe??

Cheers Dave,
Rob

Hey,

I've updated the tinymce, and the problem still happens.

I have got another server with the CMS installed, but it's an older version, and I'm not 100% sure how to upgrade. I've sent you FTP details if you are able to upgrade that one :)

Thanks Dave
Rob
