    4.7.1: Copy/Paste - Paste from Word

    My users are complaining that when they copy/paste or "paste from Word" it strips formatting and removes spacing between some words, which is increasing their editing time.

    I have a development server where I downloaded and installed the latest nightly build for the 4.7.1.1 patch and the problem persists.

    Unfortunately for you, this has been a problem for ages and I don't expect it to get fixed any time soon.

    I know this is not what you want to hear, but maybe you could try and ask your users to not do their editing in Word, but directly in the Umbraco interface.

    There is the option of letting them publish through Word directly, but they can only do that using 1 (one!) document type. This should still work: http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst5595_Using-Word-for-editing.aspx

    It was not a problem in Umbraco 4.6.1, it only became a problem after I upgraded to 4.7.1 - so all I'm asking it that it's fixed to work as well as it did before.

    I downloaded and installed the latest build (4.7.1.474) and when I do a test of the "Paste from Word" feature it does a much better job of keeping the formatting (it keeps paragraphs, spacing between words, bulleted lists, etc.)  -- the only text formatting that it does not keep is bold and italics.
