To me this is the crux of the problem. People try and paste stuff from Word. It happens. All my clients need/want to do this. Whatever you think about this philosophically, a decent WYSIWYG editor HAS to be able to:
- receive Word HTML pasted into it
- output valid XHTML
The only editor I know of that can achieve this is XStandard. We use it, and we hate it. It is a browser plug-in, so needs to be installed per machine, plays havoc with Windows if you try and install it without Admin rights, crashes Mac browsers, doesn't really work properly in Linux and is generally a nightmare to support. BUT, it can receive a paste from Word and produce relatively sane, valid XHTML.
Anyone that can write a Javascript-based editor that can achieve these two requirements will be rich...
