I have hit another problem trying to make AhTMLEd3 fit for purpose. It seems if you paste in from Word it accepts all Word's formatting, so matter how uncompliant it is.

That's hopeless! If my user has written in an odd font, the editor happily uses it. Net result, my pages now look sh-t! If my contributor uses a different font size, it uses that too.

There doesn't seem to be any way to turn this idiotic 'feature' off? I Just want it to paste in plain text. If it can't do that, then it's useless.

Hello Tim.

When you are pasting from word the editor removes invalid html markup and every valid styling remains.

So at the moment it is worse than useless, because my users can totally f--k up the styling of my site!

I don't think you should be selling this extension - it is not ready for release yet, in my opinion.

Can I get my money back?

Hello,

The word cleaning is automatically done when you paste word formatted text in the editor. The editor scans the text and removes any NON-valid HTML.
The remove formatting button removes any formatting from the selected text.

Yes, I understand that. My point is that webmasters want this extension to make it easy for non-technical users to be given simple formatting controls which they can use to add limited emphasis but without destroying general site formatting.

I can understand why, in some organisations, you might want to copy word formatting in verbatim, but in most it simply guarantees your page formatting will be destroyed. The fact that it is valid is irrelevant. It doesn't substitute odd fonts for universally valid ones, for example. And the fact that a user can remove formatting afterwards doesn't really help. Most of my users have no clue what they are doing and the more complex you make any process the less likely they will use it.

You absolutely must implement the option in the extension to strip all incoming formatting, otherwise it is just dangerous.

At the moment I have to remove this extension from my site - you haven't answered my question? Can I get my money back, as this product is no use to me.

Again, I agree with Tim. This function NEEDS to be included in an updated version ASAP
