    Can you help me simplify the Word workflow?

    My editors forward web copy in Microsoft Word 2003-2010 in a formatted document.  I copy the text to CuteEditor running in DotNetNuke 5.x.  I want the text to take on the CSS of the website so I need relatively clean code that is ready to have the CSS styles applied. 
     
    Unfortunately, when I use the Paste from MS Word option in CuteEditor, the margins and font styles from the Word document are transferred in the HTML.  So I tried another way: When I use the Paste as Plain Text option in CuteEditor, the Word Doc converts into HTML with BR tags so that I can't use CSS without manually removing the BR tags and replacing them with P tags to take the styles.  I also cannot use numbering or bullets without hand recoding.
     
    Right now, CuteEditor has decreased our efficiency dramatically--taking almost an hour per page to reformat after CE brings in the Word doc.  Is there a better workflow or CE editor setting that will help us get things done in a faster time frame?

    Ditto on this.  We reported the same errors here in August 2010:

     There doesn't seem to be much action on fixing it.  Frustrating for us too as we paid for the product and our efficiency has decreased dramatically too.

    We will resolve this issue in the coming new version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    For the time being, please create the html filter to remove the above code.
