I would like to know if its possible to paste text written and formatted in WORD in OC while retaining the WORD style format? My CKeditor has the WORD plugin and will paste the WORD text but removes the style format... just wondering if it's possible, and if so how?

I'm not a programmer, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to retain your word formatting - programming languages each have their own syntax rules for formatting. If they find characters they don't recognize, you could end up with errors that prevent your page from displaying properly, if at all. http://www.w3schools.com can give you more information on code syntax and formatting.

If the word plugin is supposed to convert the word formatting into web-suitable formatting, then your plugin is not functioning and I would try re-loading it. If that doesn't work, I would try doing a google search for problems with the plugin and see if there is a posted solution.

Thanks JoAnne
Some people I work with do everything in WORD first then bring it in. Personally it drives me nut when you try and change things later and it starts moving around on you, but so be it...
I found out how to do it..just add this to the CKeditor config.js
config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles=false;
config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles=false;

So I've done it for now to appease the masses but I wouldn't be surprised if later they request it taken off.
