One of the things that I found insanely frustrating with pasting from
Word was that depending on which browser you pasted it into you'd get
an entirely different DOM tree as a result. IE6 would end up with
something really broken while FF3 would actually handle it pretty
well. It added another agonizing level of complexity to the testing
process.
