[DUG-TO] cut/paste from word processors?

[Andre Molnar]

I've had pretty good success with 'paste from word' options in WYSIWYG
tools.  But, in a way, the whole point of that feature is to get rid of
the formatting that is coming from the word processor. (by getting rid
of the gawd awful markup that comes with it)
