    Hey Vijay,

    The tiny_mce plugin/gem is a wrapper for the TinyMCE Editor (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/)

    Sounds like the issues you're having would be better resolved by looking into the TinyMCE Editor documentation (http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Index)

    In particular, you might try adding the following to config/tiny_mce.yml and see if that helps.

    plugins: [ paste ]
paste_auto_cleanup_on_paste: true
paste_convert_middot_lists: false
paste_convert_headers_to_strong: true

    The above configuration options you can find at http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Plugins/paste

    If you continue to have difficulties, you can ask for some support here: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewforum.php?id=1

    As I said before, this gem/plugin is just a wrapper in ruby for it, so options are simply passed to the TinyMCE editor. There isn't much else I can do.

    Hope you're able to find the solution.

    Regards
    Kieran

    This is likely a TinyMCE configuration/operation issue than something specific to the Rails TinyMCE code. So if the advice below isn't helpful, please refer to the larger TinyMCE community here: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/

    Pasting from different sources (particularly of formatted or "rich" text) can sometimes result in unexpected formatting. You might want to enable the paste plugin with its pasteword and pastetext buttons in your configuration (these tools can filter out extraneous elements). Here's an example configuration that has those enabled (along with a number of other things):

    Hopes this helps,
