Paste from word

Hi,

I've another issue with pasting from word.

I tried using paste from the attached document.

Although I decided not to clean word styling, there are several issues:

1. Font and size pasted diffrently from original word (Arial 11)

2. Underline text line was changed from Red to black

3. There are several annoying spaces and lines that are not in the original document

Please assist. Thank you in advance,

Moshe

Hi,

1 and 3 - I haven't noticed point 3 but In all cases, the editor privileges semantics over formatting, so the end results will never look like the original. CKEditor makes it best to translate the information send from Word through the clipboard and many times it needs to come to an agreement. In those cases we prioritize semantics instead of formatting.

2. Well yes this is a problem. The underline tag is not included in span that colours text. I have tried to workaround it with below code:

var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', {        
                allowedContent : true,
                pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles : false,
                pasteFromWordRemoveStyles : false,
                coreStyles_underline : {
                    element: 'span',                    
                    styles: {'text-decoration' : 'underline'}
                },
            });

but this doesn't work either. What we are missing here is styles optimization and normalization. We have this issue reported here: http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10675. I'm not sure if this will include paste from word but IMO should.
