In reply to: [Advanced Editor Tools] Paste From WordI have a client (fiction author) who is being driven to all caps distraction by this. Pasting directly from Word 2010 regularly deletes spaces between words, deletes single word paragraphs altogether.
She’s been doing her blog this way since 2008 and we’ve NEVER had a problem pasting from Word until this upgrade.
I have replicated this problem on a test blog with the 2014 theme and no plugins. Other people have replicated it on her blog.
Interestingly, one tester reported that she didn’t get that problem on WordPress.com.
I have tried upgrading to the latest version of tinymce but that seems to have its own issues – the toolbar in the Visual editor simply disappears. I don’t have the patience to troubleshoot.
It’s frustrating to read ‘it works’ over and over when there are obviously people who are having serious issues.

In reply to: Unable to paste rich text in WP 3.9Here’s another new problem with pasting rich text. Client reports that now when pasting from Word, single word paragraphs are deleted altogether (this is a fiction author), words are randomly deleted, spaces between words are deleted. Often they don’t survive the paste.
I replicated the single-word paragraph deletion on a test blog set to the 2014 theme running no plugins.
Mysteriously, leaving the punctuation off keeps this from happening.
I have always gotten the feeling that the otherwise wonderful support folks here don’t take Word-related problems very seriously. Many of us have clients who compose in Word and count on the paste function working reliably. Yes, they could compose in WP directly but, no, that just ain’t gonna happen.
This client has been doing her blog this way since 2008 and this is the first time we’ve had problems with text getting deleted altogether.
I have the same problem. It forces conversion to lower-case. I brought this problem to the attention of the developer a few months ago but it was never resolved.
This is a nice, simple plugin and is perfect for our needs but this bug makes it unusable.
