Copying the table from MS word to CKEditor does not keep the attributes.

Hi,

I am developing a website and am using a free CKEditor version 4.1. I am facing issues when I copy the tables from MS word into the editor and do a submit. As soon as I submit changes all the properties of the tables get lost and I loose the spacing, color and alignment. The content works fine but I am not able to get the tables into html page.

Could someone help me for this. Should I need to go for a Licenced version to get all the attributes intact of the table when I do a submit.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

Hello, Do you need the same layout again and again? Then I would suggest to add the necessary information in a css file and add the class name in the table advanced properties (right click the table). Good luck

Pasting from Word is tricky,

Pasting from Word is tricky, but there are some additional settings available to fine-tune the paste settings.

See the pasteFromWord* settings in the CKEditor configuration.

The Open Source and Premium (paid) CKEditor versions are identical, the only difference is in the license.

By the way, if the problems

By the way, if the problems appeared in version 4.1 and everything worked correctly before, it's possible that this is due to Advanced Content Filter not accepting all Word styles. I opened a ticket for that here: http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10267

It would be most helpful if you could attach a sample document with the formatting that is lost. Thanks!

Copying the table from MS word to CKEditor does not keep the att

CKEditor version 4.1. I am facing issues when I copy the tables from MS word into the editor and do a submit.

CKEditor has nothing to do with saving or submitting data.

If this is from 4.1 then this could be an issue with ACF but then you would be able to see result in wysiwyg. Just in case I'm giving you links to ACF:
http://ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor-4.1-RC-Released
http://ckeditor.com/blog/Upgrading-to-CKEditor-4.1
http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/plugin_sdk_integration_with_acf
http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_advanced_content_filter

If you have some styles in editor and don't have them on resulting page then it is possible that you are using special styles for tables in contents.css. Please note that contents.css is not transferred to resulting page. Your resulting page should have link to custom css file with same classes inserted (You can make your app insert such this link).

Finally you could have some filters in your app that cut out these styles.
