 * Is there a tweak in tinyMCE Advanced where we can have the Paste as Plain text
   be turned on by default?
 * I found a plugin called: “TinyMCE Paste in Plain Text by Default” but it’s not
   working and haven’t heard back from their support forum.
 * Thoughts? Thanks.

 * There is a setting to turn this on: [http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:paste_as_text](http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:paste_as_text).
   To easily add it to the TinyMCE init, you can use something like [http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-tinymce-configuration/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-tinymce-configuration/).

 * Dear all,
    may I ask for further support. I am not able to find where in the 
   code I have to add the suggested rows: tinymce.init({ paste_as_text: true });
 * Can you please specify?
 * Thank you,
    Pietro

 * After you have installed the Advanced TinyMCE Settings plugin go to:
    Settings
   >>>> TinyMCE Config
 * In “Option name” field put in: paste_as_text
    In “Value” field put in: true
