We have noticed that on occasion, paste from word can embed something nasty in the HTML that then stops the rest of the page from displaying correctly.

 

This seems to specifically affect Announcements.

 

Sadly, asking all our staff not to cut and paste from word would fall on deaf ears.

Subject: Experiences of using the Paste from Word tool

 

Has anyone had any issues with the Paste from Word mashup tool in 9.1 specifically it not doing as good a job as they would have liked?

 

Does anyone actively avoid using it?
