Paste from Word exhibits the following anomalies:
Chrome and Safari for PC:
Paste inserts a <p> </p> before the start of the text. It is not visible in the wysiwyg editor initially. If you toggle to Source (where you can see it of course) and then back to wysiwyg, it appears as a line break. If you then delete that line, the non-breaking space disappears. You can, of course, also delete it in Source mode.
Opera:
Opera also inserts the non-breaking space paragraph but it is visible initially in the wysiwyg editor.
I took great care to highlight only the text in Word, not whole lines.
This insertion does not occur in IE9 or in Firefox.
UPDATE: This occurs only when copying from the start of a complete paragraph in Word. If just copying and pasting some content inside a paragraph in Word, the problem does not occur in any of the browsers.
UPDATE: The html revealed in the CKEditor paste event does not include this non-breaking space. The pasted content does. So removing it will have to be post paste.
