Pasting from Microsoft Word

When pasting from Microsoft Word, a popup box appears where you can paste your text. At the bottom of the box is 2 check boxes: 1) Ignore Font Face Definitions, and 2) Remove styles definitions

#2 is not checked. Is there any way I can change it so this box is automatically checked?

If you are using FCKeditor there is a third clipboard looking icon that lets you paste as plain text this will ignore all references to styling... the one for Word is so you can keep some of the styling sorta pick and choose what you want...

Other wise I believe you can just paste it in the with the source/html button to get no styles...

I want to be able to keep the spacing, bolding, italics and such, which it will allow you to do with the boxes checked. I just don't want all the margin codes in there. So by selecting both boxes, I can get what I want.

So what I would like to do (since I have 17 writers working on my network) is make it easier by setting it so the boxes are automatically checked for them.

Does anyone know how to do that?

<input id="chkRemoveStyles" type="checkbox" />
to

Code: Select all

<input id="chkRemoveStyles" type="checkbox" checked="checked" />
