those of you that use contentEditable widgets like TinyMCE and friends
for maintaining site content - do you have the same problem with text
pasted in from MS Word, namely the unspeakable ugliness, invalidity,
tendency to completely muck up an entire page, gross depravity, putting
funny smells on the upholstery, etc etc etc....
We have been telling folks to "first paste the text into Notepad, then
paste again into the RTE, then add your formatting as needed". But then
you have to listen to the groans of discontent (and usually explain
what Notepad is). Even bits copied from other sites carries in the HTML
and CSS from the other site - not real useful. Is there a Better Way
(TM)?
