Paste text into the event calendar editor

Hi folks,

i think this problem is independent from any server installation, maybe it depends only on the mojoportal version. i am using version 2.2.8.6 MSSQL and i've found the following issue:

my customer tried to create a new event in the event calendar by writing his text in ms word and copy-paste it into the editor. after saving the event he saw something like that

<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]>

i think it's the result of interpreting ms word xml - but why?! imho the editor (i think it's tinyMCE here) should be able to filter this xml tags out of the text. with an inspect (firebug) i saw that every tag brace was escaped as html entity - maybe this filtering causes the error (tinyMCE isn't able to find xml because it's escaped).

is this a known bug, any help about that?!

Re: Paste text into the event calendar editor

The editors have a special toolbar item that is for "Paste From Word". They are there to strip out the garbage markup that word adds. I don't think they are perfect, but you should train your users to use those toolbar items to paste from word, because normal paste will not clean that up.

Hope it helps,

Joe
