Pasting a word document

I have successfully installed ckeditor on my site. The problem I am having is with the IE browser. If content from a Word document (images, tables, and text included) is pasted into the editor it does not show up properly. It shows strange characters and unusual formatting.

Is there a way to paste content from word, as mentioned above without any formatting loss into the editor?

Does the paste from word functionality work for you?

Re: Pasting a word document

You can also add this code to your config.js file:

config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles = false;
config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles = false;

But getting strange icons can be a server configuration issue. Make sure your server is set to the supported character set you're trying to use, usually UTF-8 for Western languages.

Re: Pasting a word document

Thanks the paste from word button works for me. Also the config.js file edit from Sebstefanov worked. The problem I'm having now is a in IE whenever I save text I'm getting output looking like the below appended to the end of the input.

???Ric h Text Editor?????????Editor toolbars???????? ??Bold????? ? ??Italic???????? ??Insert/ Remove Numbered List?????? ??I nsert/Remove Bulleted List??? ???? ? ??Link? ????? ?? Unlink?

Any idea what may be causing this. This only happens in an IE browser.
