To get the rich formatting I need, I create a table in Word, then use CKEdit's "paste from word" icon. This used to work. It wasn't ideal, but it worked. Now, this isn't working. When I paste form word, the content is there but all the table formatting and colors are gone.
Has anyone else tried this?
I tried both Chrome and IE9 -- same result. I did an auto upgrade from WP 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 today. I'm not sure that would impact this or not, but now I have no way of reverting to test.

Could u try to reproduce this in http://ckeditor.com/demo ?

Same behavior in the demo site. When I create a rich table in word, "paste from word" it strips all formatting and pastes only black/white tables. I tried both IE9 and Chrome.
In chrome, I get a dialog box (due to security settings) to paste into and this box seems to keep most of my formatting and colors. When I click OK, the formatting goes away.
Hi,
@osu9400 so this is not plugin for wordpress but CKEditor library issue. I will report this to deveolopers of CKEditor.
Can you reproduce the same thing?
Hi,
@osu9400
Same behavior in the demo site
If you checked this behaviour on demo site as you wrote, so this is CKEditor library issue. I wrote about this issue to developer of CKEditor, so they can check this.
@osu9400 try use these options for CKEditor:
config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles=false;
config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles=false;
you can add it in ckeditor.config.js file or by adding it File Editor settings for CKEditor in WordPress admin.
That fixed it!! Why isn't that a default setting? Thanks.
Why isn't that a default setting?
This is design decision of CKEditor developers.
I think that more people wish to have nice, clear code after pasting from Word and this is the reason why its done this way. But this is only my opinion. :)
I'm having the same issue again. I had to rebuild my blog and didn't have my plugins backed up. I added the two lines in the body of this file:
./wp-content/plugins/ckeditor-for-wordpress/ckeditor.config.js
it looks like this:
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function(config) {
config.resize_minWidth = 450;
config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles=false;
config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles=false;
...
...Is that correct?
@osu9400 it looks good for me.
The best way to check is just use editor after configuration settings saving and check if all works as you expected ;)
