 * Here’s a plugin that allows you to paste Microsoft Word and rich text items into
   WP as plain text.

 * Well, I won’t test it, sorry (never use wysiwyg) – but if it works, it will be
   a “saviour” for many Word addicted users 🙂

 * Yeah, neither do I.
 * I use WP as a CMS for business websites. It always makes me cringe when I revisit
   a new site after a few months and see the layout destroyed from somebody pasting
   in poorly formatted rich text. Figured it was time to do something about it…

 * Purely in the “for what it’s worth category”, I’ve just heard that WP 2.1’s wysiwyg
   will have some similar functionality built-in. And spell checking!
 * And no, I don’t know when it’s coming out 😛

 * That IS good news HandySolo! Longing for that release .This has been a big issue,
   tried a lot diffrent soultions, and most of the people I supporting dont like
   PureText. Since editoral monkey is not working anymore – there is a big need 
   for something like it.

 * The Plain Text Plugin breaks the editor altogether in 2.1. I was using version
   0.2

 * I don’t get it: why is this useful? Any text editor allows this already. And 
   since computers come with pre-bundled text editors, every computer user already
   knows how to do this.
