## Description

After activating this plugin TinyMCE will start to paste plain text by default.

This is helpful if users are not familiar with HTML and styling and how that can
get terribly messed up when you paste formatted text from Microsoft Word or other
rich text software.

## Installation

 1. Upload `wp-tinymce-paste-in-plain.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
     That’s it!
