Plugin: paste

This plugin adds paste as plain text and paste from Word icons to TinyMCE. This plugin was developed by Ryan Demmer and modified by the TinyMCE crew to be more general and some extra features where added.

On 25 May 2005, this plugin was modified by speednet: IE now pastes directly into the editor, bypassing the extra steps of opening the Insert box, selecting options, and clicking Insert. Speednet also added the Select All command, which highlights all the content in the editor when the user clicks the toolbar button (Other miscellaneous cleanup also).

On 28 October 2005, this plugin was modified by monkeybrain: Added the paste_strip_class_attributes option.

Installation Instructions
