Peter,
Do you have our original eWebEdit product from the late 1990's, or our
current eWebEditPro product (currently in version 4.0, by the way)? In our
opinion, we do the best and most configurable handling of
Word-to-reusable-HTML conversion of any product on the market. We have
invested a considerable number of engineering hours on eWebEditPro's Word
integration, including both the direct Word import and the "Edit in Word"
feature that was added in eWebEditPro 3.0.
There are a variety of configuration options that may improve the conversion
process for your particular usage of Word or your usage of the output HTML.
These are discussed on page 307 the eWebEditPro Developer's Reference Guide
along with general issues of Word content conversion:

If you don't have the latest version of eWebEditPro, I would invite you to
take a look at it and run through an online test drive, because we are
constantly adding powerful new features:

While you're there, take a look at the XML-enhanced version of the product,
eWebEditPro+XML, to which we've just added the new Data Designer user
interface that allows your nontechnical users to design an XML document
format. And our CMS products are pretty spiffy too!

Subject: [cms-list] Cutting and Pasting from Word?!
Hello There,
I currently use Ektron's EWebEdit as the WYSIWYG editor for my CMS. It's
not bad most of the time, but it often does a horrible job when users
cut and paste from Word. My understanding is that all of the ActiveX
WYSIWYG editors just hook into the same Microsoft code, so their
capabilities are similar . . . Has anyone ever come across a WYSIWYG
editor that genuinely does a good job of preserving formatting from
Word?
On a separate note, does anyone have a good recommendation for cross
browser/platform editor for my Mac clients?
Best Wishes,
Peter Bell
