</div>Do you know of any other site or WYSIWYG editor that handles M$ word<br>
better than what's available?<br>

</blockquote></div><br>My team just recently had to solve this problem. We created a new plugin based on TinyMCE's "Paste from Word" button that automatically runs based on an algorithm that detects if a user has pasted. <br>
<br>It's not perfect, because for instance it strips all styles from any HTML (so no right or center text alignment). However, for a limited input format, its appears to have solved the problem we have. It even works with Image Assist. We no longer get complaints, the editor really is displaying what they'll get, and all the font formatting is consistent across the site.<br>
<br>Obviously, we need to bundle it up and provide it back to the community. We'll be working on those tasks after the site's release. However, you can still access it off the SCF github repository if you're interested:<br>
