Cannot copy formatted table from MS Word

Hi,

When I copy a table from MS Word, CKEditor successfully copies the structure of the table (I mean the table tr and td tags) but the formatting (background color, font-related styles, etc.) disappers. What is the problem? How can I solve this problem?

PS: you may find the related screenshot attached.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Cannot copy formatted table from MS Word

Have you tried setting the pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles configuration value to "false"?

config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles = false;

Yes, I have tried it but it did not make any difference. Note that I have tried previous version (FCKEditor 2.6.6 instead of CKEditor) and it can copy the foramtted table...

Re: Cannot copy formatted table from MS Word

There are two options that should be set to false:

config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles = false; 
config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles = false;

pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles as the name implies is only used for fonts. If you set both of these values to false the background-color of your table will be kept.
