Didn't mean TinyMCE has tags, but rather that you can build
filters into TinyMCE. So that the HTML that you're worried not having on your
site is not only not displayed, but also not stored in the database.
Let me try and rephrase....
"SO if you're doing a
bunch of pasting from Word, it will still leave any weird word
generated tags in the HTML that gets stored in Drupal, even if you have
them filtered out by a drupal input filter. This only bothers you when you
turn off the editor, or if you have some other process trying to get at the data
that doesn't properly use the filters.
You can also
configure TinyMCE to filter tags, but these filters can only be
set by implementing a special function in your theme, and can't be set via a
configuration page. If you filter the tags out with TinyMCE as well, tags
you don't want users entering won't be stored in the database
either.
Hope that makes more sense.

Well, I'm not pasting form Word (I hate Word) but I don't understand
this: "SO if you're doing a bunch of
pasting from Word, it will still leave the tags in the HTML that gets stored in
Drupal. This only bothers you when you turn off the editor, or if you have

How do I know
what the tiny MCE tags are? I just see some HTML tags.

An
important thing to note: Changing the default filter does
not change any content. If you're
changing the input formats from FilteredHTML to Full HTML, and you
had previously created a node as "Filtered HTML" changing the
default won't change the original nodes input format. You must have
administer filters privilege and change the input format on each
node. If you instead edit the allowed tag list for the "Filtered
HTML" input format, then you don't have to update each node.
Hope that makes sense.
Correspondingly, unless you're using "Filter Defaults" or some other
module that alters this. Drupal out of the can does not support Content
Type specific filters. The input formats are set on a per node basis.
FYI:
I have configured TinyMCE to filter out html tags as well in some cases.
Input formats filter out HTML on display and not input. SO if you're
doing a bunch of pasting from Word, it will still leave the tags in the HTML
that gets stored in Drupal. This only bothers you when you turn off the
editor, or if you have some other process trying to get at the data. TinyMCE
tag filters can only be set by implementing a special function in your theme.
There's no place to "configure" this in the DB.

I've always thought the opposite of TinyMCE (or any wysiwyg
editor). It's not necessarily to restrict your users from using html but
more to remove the requirement of knowing html.
However I do
think you can get what you want: I think that if you turn on full html
globally but turn off the option for users to select, require TinyMCE (also
can be done globally I believe) and don't include the html button in the
TinyMCE editor, then TinyMCE will be able to write all the html it needs to
(restricting html will restrict it from TinyMCE as well - this is because
TinyMCE is merely a front-end mask to what's really happening) while the user
will never be able to see or edit it.

If <ul> and <li> are enabled, shouldn't the bulleted
list format button work? I don't see where to associate the input format
with a content type. I don't want to give all users full HTML, that's the
whole point of installing TinyMCE. If I turn off line breaks in my default
format, won't it mess up my other content types? I think that was why I
turned them on. And TinyMCE worked or works sometimes with the default input
format as is. I feel like I am just being dense.

Yes as
sara has indicated. You can change the defaults at
Administer -> Site Configuration -> Input Formats.
If you
"Configure" the default format. Then select the Configure tab, you'll be
able to set which tags are allowed. The default set is
<a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code>
<ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt>
<dd>
When
you enable tinymce you might also consider turning off the "line break
converter" on this screen as well.

I don't want the users to have to select input formats, I want
them to be set for the content type or field type. Is that
possible?

You
probably have the content set to use filtered html instead of full
html. You can update this on a content item basis by clicking on
input
formats just below the TinyMCE editor, or site-wide by going to
admin >
site config > input
formats.
HTH!
