I've added new function to strip Word formatting. Function is called when user press down Ctrl + v keys.
It still should be tested thoroughly before it can be added to main distribution, so it wouldn't mess up basic function key operations (ctrl + v eg).
So please try it out: http://web.jaiko.fi/janne/moodle

Try copy - paste from different sources (not only from Word).

Awesome - thanks, Janne! I really needed something like that!
(Didn't work for me on Mozilla, though - which tags does it strip?)

Please don't thank me 
. It was allready available (spent hours to find it though).
It'll strip out font, span, div and classes and xml part that Word generates (<o:p>, <?xml: , class=MsoNormal eg).

PDF test didn't go so well with Mozilla 1.5 and IE 5.5. All the text came but wasn't correctly formatted. You can't always win

Yes, it doesn't and it shouldn't. When you copy from PDF -files there are no similar formatting included as in Word or Excel. It's just clear text with line breaks.

Works with Excel. With Mozilla 1.5 and IE 5.5.

Re: New Ctrl + v - funtionality strip Word formatting + new table properties!!!
by Janne Mikkonen -
I never liked the way that this editor handles tables (there aren't enough words to describe all those finnish curse words that I've used).
So I made some changes.
- Columns have I default width value based on table width.
- Column content is vertically aligned to top of the cell.
So please test it out in a same place as before. If It works OK, we can put it on the main distribution...

I'm currently trying to use this feature, but whenever I use Ctrl-V the contents of the clipboard are pasted in! How do I empty the clipboard (short of rebooting the computer 
)?
Was this feature put into CVS? I type up a lot of documents in Word which I then want to paste into a html resource, so it would be so useful! 
Tim.
CTRL + V always should paste the contents of the clipboard. This means that if that content is MS Word HTML, CTRL + V paste content of clipboard to editor and fires up the cleaning function that cleans up MS Word HTML.
If the content is already in the editor, do not use CTRL + V, use Clean Word HTML -button from menubar (next to Paste -button) or press CTRL + 0 (zero).

Janne, thank you so much for your reply, that makes it a lot clearer.
Just one thing - I can't find the clean Word HTML button - is that only in Mozilla (I am using IE atm)?

See above (thanks Zig). If you can't see that button, you're using older version.

Oh I see, it was the cache problem again. The editor seems to be more resistant to refreshing than other resources. I emptied the cache (not just a force refresh) and voila the button appeared - it must have been hidden away there for some time!
Thanks a lot for your help.
