Paste from word - I'd like to retain word formatting

I'm in the same boat. I need to retain word formatting so I can create a word document based on what was copied in.

I have updated the config.js file with the two following lines but some formatting is still getting stripped out:

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

See the following line of code. This is what it looks like in another editor that doesn't strip formatting:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none">

And here's what it looks like in CKeditor after I paste:

<p>

I need to retain the "margin:0" style if possible, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

jon, I wanted to let you know one thing I did discover that may help you (although it didn't completely help me). Those two lines of config need to go in the plugins/pastefromword/filter/default.js file. Just put them at the bottom on separate lines. I still have issues after doing that, but I may be slightly closer.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I am also look to retain 0 margins during a paste from MS word.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">

I too have the following lines in my config.js file

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

Setting these two config options has helped with a lot of the automatic stripping that was going on, but somewhere, ckeditor is STILL stripping out my 0 margins.

Note, I think it's stripping them during a normal paste operation because if I turn on another config option:

config.pasteFromWordPromptCleanup = true;

Which makes ckeditor prompt before doing a word clean up and I say "Cancel" meaning do NOT run the word filter, my 0 margins are STILL being ripped out.

Ideas?

I too am having this problem. When pasting from word the margin setting is stripped out of the <p> tag causing extra blank lines between paragraphs. I also have config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles = false; in my config.js, but it makes no difference.

Has anyone found a solution?

When I look at the config options it looks like there's one for pasteFromWordCleanupFile. How is such a file used and would it help with this issue?
