Hi guys

I'm looking for a wysiwyg editor that can remove all formatting from any text pasted into it. Ideally it would be nice if I could set this up so it auto removes on a paste event but if not I'd be happy with a simple button on the toolbar.

I've tried a few jQuery ones but the few I've tried don't remove all the formatting when pasting from things like Word and Outlook. To be honest, something like the wysiwyg editor on here would be perfect! lol

Does anyone know of a decent wysiwyg editor that can do this?

Thanks

CKEditor has a 'remove formatting' option, and 'paste from word' option which removes all microsoft proprietary formatting scheise.

....which happens to be a lifesaver for me, as every client I come across seems to type everything in MS Word and paste directly into their CKEditor :)
 
ahh thanks for the ideas guys. removing the formatting from Word is certainly one thing I need!

Will that also work with Outlook too as I believe that generally used Word to compose messages in the first place though it might be a different story when viewing received mail?
 
I haven't tried it, but I would think it would work with Outlook too as it uses the Word HTML renderer (for some unexplainable, and unforgivable reason - but that's another thread)

IIRC there is a demo on the CKEditor site, so you could try the copy options out first.
 
Pasting as plain text seems to do the job very nicely and removes all formatting which is exactly what I'm after :)

I'll add it to a simple page tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion guys
 
The only down side to FCKEditor is that it's a mother lover to write new dialogs and functionality for.

If you don't need to do that though, it's great.
