(cough) wouldn't this be more appropriate to use phplib's wysiwyg editor ?
http://www.sanisoft.com/ofwysiwyg/
and it looks pretty much the same eh ?

you can use the htmlCleaner class from www.phpclasses.org  :
http://phpclasses.tmoby.com/browse.html/package/1020.html

[snip] Use this class to clean up the mess returned from a MSHTML/IE
based WYSIWYG editor in the case your users copy and paste from Word.
It's not remotely as good as htmlTidy, but its pure php.
[/snip]

.. and it works fine with phplib's of_wysiwyg ;-)

be well

tbz
