Hi Dave,

Using Firefox as is my client, so ctrl-c ctr-v etc. are not available. I noticed in the editor when I use ctrl-v in Firefox it automatically brings up the "paste as plain text" window. Is there a way it can bring up the "paste from word" window instead ? I only ask, simply because I don't want my client to keep formatting text over again that is already formatted, and they might forget to use the paste from word button.

Thanks Dave !! :))

Hi Avrom,

Yea, I've often wondered why the tinymce folks don't have an option for that. Maybe I should send them a patch and see if they include it.

I've attached a replacement file to fix this for you. Here's what to do:

- Open the folder /tinymce3/plugins/paste/
- Rename editor_plugin.js to editor_plugin_old.js
- Copy editor_plugin_asWord.js as editor_plugin.js
- Remove cache files from /data/ and /tinymce3/ named like tiny_mce_f2e364fd6e334983c5c66827af8865d3.gz
- Clear browser cache

Let me know if that works for you.
