Pasting from word removes formatting

Hi

I have this problem using CKEditor.
Whenever I paste a text from word 2007 the text looses all the formattings like size and colors.(just if I've pasted it into a regular textarea) This even happens in the demo of your site.I've tested on FF3.5 and IE8.
In IE it shows the exact text(with formatting) for a second but then it changes to the regular plain text.
Is this a limitation of CKEditor or I've done something wrong?

Regards
Mojiz

I think you and I have the opposite problems, though I'm probably using an older version than the demo.

There are parameters you can set to amend this behaviour, do you have access to the settings?

CKEDITOR.config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles = false;
CKEDITOR.config.pasteFromWordPromptCleanup = false ;

I believe the latest version will not prompt with a Word cleaner box and removes fonts as you've seen in the demo. I just confirmed the same outcome in the demo.
