Headings lost in Paste from Word

The Paste From Word code specifically changes <h*> to <font> tags with smaller and smaller font sizes. Anyone know why? I'm using fckEditor in Joomla! and want to be able to work on my text in Word and then paste it into fckEditor and losing the heading tags is problem. I've just commented those lines out of the paste code, but I'm curious if there's something I'm missing here.

Maybe the reasoning is in this page: http://wiki.fckeditor.net/ImprovingPast ... %28word%29

but as LaurentChardin points out it's just a matter of applying the proper styles instead of removing the formating and applying those ugly fonts.

So I don't really know why someone would rather use font instead of Heading.

RE: Headings lost in Paste from Word

Thanks for the pointer. I think the changed method is much better. I guess it depends on whether your goal is to have identical formatting in Word and the HTML, or to transfer the "sense" of the document into HTML.
