Question

Sitecore: Forcing pasting as unformatted text.

Answer 1

A:

Take a look at the setting

<property name="StripFormattingOnPaste">None</property>

Located in the file /sitecore/shell/radcontrols/editor/ConfigFile.xml

Last time I had a requirement similar to yours, I went in there and made the change and it worked fine. Should still work, unless they changed something :-)

Thanks for your response! I think that it's exactly what I need. I see the line in the .xml file, but the change doesn't seem to be affecting anything. Do I need to do something in particular for Sitecore to re-read the xml file? (Sorry- I've never edited any of the Sitecore config files aside from the web.config). So far I've tried smart-publishing and invalidating the web.config cache to try and get it to work but no dice yet

After some more research I found out the file here: \sitecore\shell\Controls\Rich Text Editor\default.aspx has a very similar setting related to stripping formatting. Setting the line StripFormattingOnPaste="MSWordRemoveAll" gave me the results I needed.

Ah, yes. Apologies, I forgot about the .aspx file... Now that you mention it, I do remember it was involved when I last did this myself.Glad it worked out for you :-)
