Indents and pasting from word doc?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing with ckeditor and pasting from a word doc. I'm not able to paste multiple layered numbered indents into ckeditor without receiving many errors and even question marks. Spacing is also a big problem.

Any help would be great...

Thanks

Browsers generates terrible

Browsers generates terrible HTML when pasting from MS Word. Especially if the content is formatted and complicated. CKEditor does its best to clean up that mess, but it cannot do everything. You can report your case (please attach sample DOC file) on http://dev.ckeditor.com

modify config work?

Thanks for the response, so not even this will work? Is there a specific Browser that works best with CKEditor?

Add these to your CKEditor configuration:

'pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles' : false,
'pasteFromWordRemoveStyles' : false,

It's not about CKEditor or

It's not about CKEditor or browser - it's about crappy pseudo-HTML produced by MSWord.

Perhaps setting these options may help in your case, but also remember that editor filters pasted content based on rules defined in Advanced Content Filter. This system was introduced recently and if you want to allow all formats created by MSWord you should rather disable it. It can be done by:

config.allowedContent = true;

Check documentation http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_advanced_content_filter in case you'll need more information.
