Text editors

Hello,

I've been copying text content from either Word (pasting without formatting) or from a webpage (in Blackboard, where the content is simple, hand-written html code) into the editor wysiwig screen. When I do this into a web-resource page it goes fine. But when I do it into a Forum description block or the Course Summary block in Settings I get a bunch of line breaks.

On very clean code where there was only a lot of text between <p> </p> tags, the line breaks show up in a weird way. They don't happen where the source browser had put them to display the text. Rather, they show up where the text line wrapped inside the wysiwig editor. We've looked inside these text fields in the database and there's not any html code there causing the breaks. The nearest thing we can figure out is that there's an ASCII carriage return that doesn't display that gets carried throughout, and that when these objects get churned into html to make up a page, the script replaces carriage returns with a <br /> tag.

With a lot of messing around, deleting space at the ends lines and such, we can get rid of these, but it's not very clean. Is there anywhere in the php scripts that we can fix it?

Thanks,
Bill Jones
