Cutting and pasting from Word into C3 with DW templates

[greiber]

I am using Contribute 3 with Dreamweaver templates in what I believe is a
fairly standard way that allows me to control the formatting of the headers and
sub-headers while allowing Contribute users to enter arbitrary content. The
problem I am running into is that in locking the formatting of the header I am
effectively destroying my Contribute users ability to cut and paste from Word
into the header.

My template is structured in the following way:
<h1><!-- begin edit... --> User text <!-- end edit --></h1>
This keeps my formatting control in the template and out of the editable
region.

The problem is that when the user cuts from Word, they get almost always get a
leading line break which Contribute then reads as a <p> and tosses the "you
cannot perform this action in this region" error message.

I really do not want to put the <h1> tag inside the editable space, because I
will then loose my ability to control the overall look of the site through CSS.
I would like to be able to tell Contribute to treat clip-board content as
straight text, or at least do so when I hit this error. Is there some other
work-around that I am not seeing?

Greiber,

I know what you are talking about. I have run across this a number of times
and have not found a good solution to resolving this.

One thing that you might try is to disable the option to allow users to create
styles. This is found in the Administer Websites under the Styles and Fonts
category.

This is driving me up the wall. I'm having the same issues over here and I'm
at my wits end, unfortunately. Have you guys figured out any concrete
reasoning behind this?

I'm beginning to think irrationally, thinking that there might be some
creator/user issue.

I hate contribute where it applies to my situation.
