Paste From Word - Clean up Box Issue

When trying to paste content from Word, clicking the "Clean Up Box" button clears out all of the content from the pop-up window. Has anyone else run into this?

I take you never got a response on this? Or were you able to figure out how to resolve this? I'm in the same situation. Thanks

This is more of a usability issue, the "Clean Up Box" button is a reset button of the form, so there is no bug. I have removed the button from this dialog, because most users will click that button first thing after pasting.

Thanks for the info luuletaja. I ended up removing the whole "Paste from Word" button from my installation. I've found that people expect this button to make the result look exactly like it did in MS Word (formatting, images, etc). I've seen other products that can do this (i.e. ActivEdit), but until FCKEditor can do the same, I'll be leaving this feature out.

I found what I thought was this button in editor/dialog/fck_paste.html and commented out but it still appears in the popup. No idea where its still sneaking in from!
