I disagree the editor should keep the format of the text it a H1 tag stays a H1 
tag

there is a button to remove extra formatting in the example tool bar though i 
haven't  tested too much.

to do what you want open notepad and paste content into it first then into the 
editor it will have lost its formatting this is because notepad is a plain 
ascii editor while word, html, rtf, excel are typed data and when you copy into 
a clipboard the clipboard trys to hold the format of the data so when you paste 
it into a RTE editor it trys to convert it to HTML so excel becomes a table of 
data etc.

i know how to workaround the problem... but when your dont project for client 
who doesnt care and doesnt want to do a extra step to pasting the text without 
any formatting... that,s i pain in the a** to explain each time.

Mainly, they copy/paste from Word document... as you know, word document got 
95% of extra preformatted code.

Anyway, i'll keep TinyMCE for my production script (they auto remove the code 
if we want). THe main reason i wanted to switch is the only option you got and 
they dont : the basic upload image.

regards

How can I bind events in the textarea?

in the function "lwRTE.prototype.enable_design_mode = function() {"

look for  this line

$(self.iframe_doc).keyup(function(event) { self.set_selected_controls( 
self.get_selected_element(), self.controls.rte); });

the event has the key press if paste then run the tidy function from the 
toolbar.

I added the function

$(self.iframe_doc).bind('paste',function(){  });

but... no luck...

Besides.. I need to SELECT ALL text before using the WORD function :(

create a function called tidy that takes all the content and tidy ups the 
content

then as in my post above use

$(self.iframe_doc).keyup(function(event) { self.set_selected_controls( 
self.get_selected_element(), self.controls.rte); tidy();});

instead of 
$(self.iframe_doc).keyup(function(event) { self.set_selected_controls( 
self.get_selected_element(), self.controls.rte); });

a better way would for all locations where it is possible to change the content 
have it call an empty function called onchange then if you need to do some 
processing for your project you overwrite the onchange function to do what you 
want.
