Stripping off all MS Word stylying

Hi,
I'm very new to FCKE and need a bit of help

There is a button for pasting MS Word stuff into the editor, but I'm guessing most people are not going to use this button and will just copy and paste text from Word into the text area. In such case there is a ton of HTML code there that i just don't want...

Is there any way to set up FCKE so that it will automatically strips off all, or at least most styling/html from text pasted straight from Word.

Thanks!

Re: Stripping off all MS Word stylying

FCK has a few features that do a great job of stripping out the crap that comes in from MS Word. Look at the Configuration Options page at the settings:

AutoDetectPasteFromWord
CleanWordKeepsStructure
ForcePasteAsPlainText

Note, however, that it behaves differently between browsers (as I've just found out for myself...) so its best to test it thoroughly to understand what your users will see.
